Hello Albert,

You're not doing so bad yourself, lionwise.

The first badges I'll adress later on, the second set I also have two examples of, but are a complete mystery. Mine are die cast and die stamped, both with flat sheetmetal lugs. They differ from Gaunt lions only in detail, possibly some other British Wartime maker? Attached are images of mine.

When Talens was researching his uniforms and badges book he was unable to find any documentation on these various lions, so question is if we'll ever be able to take this beyond the point of rumours and speculation.

Could you take some detailed pics of your various Parree lions please?

Rgds, Thomas.
