Default Green Jackets Brigade - Maker's Marks

I've trying to ascertain which maker's marks were stamped on the sliders of anodised Green Jackets Brigade badges.

So far I've found Gaunt London, Gaunt Birmingham and Buttons Ltd.

Were there any other makers, and are the Gaunt Birmingham a contemporary maker's mark, or were they made later for the collector's market?

There are the following besides those youve already mentioned:- Smith & Wright and Gaunt London with a stamped slider and back of the badge. I also have a Gaunt London example where the ends of the cross havent been cut out.
Gaunt Bham is perfectly fine. Last batch of cap badges that were produced. Dont forget,ACF affiliated units would have continued to wear the cap badge post 1966 until they rebadged to the RGJ .

Thanks Sean.

I think I’m likely to start on a quest to track down the 1st and 3rd Bn shoulder titles (I already have the 2nd Bn KRRC ones).
