Was the cap badge ever produced with a J R Gaunt London slider?

I have just gone through the A/A collection formerly owned by Chris Cunniffe on his old web site for the UDR and cannot find a Gaunt London, other makers yes but NOT Gaunt London.
If you have one it could be quite a rare badge.

I'm away from home at present and will check my UDR set when back. However as the Regt began in 1970 it may be the case that this is too late for a Gaunt London mark to have been used on the anodised aluminium cap badges.

Regards all

No, I have not got one, or indeed, have ever seen one, I saw an example advertised as such, but, it turned out to be marked B'HAM and not London, the seller appears to suffer when it comes to actually being able to read.
I just wanted to know if such a badge ever existed in the first place.
