Nice representation of the GGBG. Are there any maker marks on the badges?

Bill... none of the w/m badges have makers marks.... the brass cap badge has a square plate j.r. gaunt/montreal... 3 of the brass collars have the same square plate plus one of them also has a square plate with made in/ england. 3 of the other collars are marked stanley on one side of the lug and on the other lug side aylward... hope this helps... Jim

How about a belt buckle - does that count?

A couple of cap badges: The non voided circular garter is silver plated & is (I believe) a period conversion from QVC to KC. The brass badge is the 'oval no buckle' pattern, Mazeas C.3b.

This is the great thing about a forum like this.... you post what you have and then other members fill in with badges, helmet plates and belt buckles that you haven't got. You get to see what else you need to go after plus at the same time it's building a reference pool for others... congratulations to all those that take the time and effort to post their collectibles and share their expertise.... Thanks Again Jim
