Good Evening Gents,
I've just picked up these nice badges & I'm wondering what the smallest could be, it is hallmarked silver 1941 dated & made by the Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co Ltd, it has one screw post to the rear with a nice silver backing plate, it came with the bladed cap badge and the middle sized badge which is silver plate & made by Gaunt. The Gaunt one measures 30mm x 32mm & the silver one is 26mm x 26mm on the plate. I'd be grateful for any info on either of the 2 smaller badges, thanks in advance,
Wilf.

I think these are mess dress collars Wilf. Overlay it on the one in Churchill to see if it's the same size.

Good evening.

The hallmarked item is the Mess Dress collar badge: see Churchill 1969 and 1970. Found with various dates.

Should you wish to sell it for a good sum, send me a PM.

Enjoy.

ST.
