Lurrrrvley!! just having a gander now

OK....

Top left : Silver Gaunt Motto (See L&D NCO arm badges, page 139, Fig 43.9 -17L, Right C, 40.8mm high, 47.9mm, loops E/W 41mm)
Botton two: Firmin type Sand cast Indian made..... long slider (dare I say Puggaree?.... ducking for cover now!!), other either Broderick or service cap replacement? (Die cast ???? its an early casting because of the sharp points to the back of the eye sockets).
Top right: How long are the loops.... is it silver ... are there any marks?

This is my 17L new addition (arrived today), Firmin type:-


I thinks its another QVC x3 loop converted to a slider fitting (nice deep crimp mark).
