J.R. Gaunt maker marks
I'm aware that some J. Gaunt London maker marks are regarded as fake, specifically the 15 mm one with the dot between the Gaunt and London. How about a 15 mm long maker mark without the dot between Gaunt and London, legit or also fake? Many thanks,

From Makers Mark Section
A quote from the makers mark Section.
J.R.GAUNT.LONDON 1.0mm x 15 mm White-metal Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry. Kipling and King 641 The infamous 15mm "Gaunt with a dot". Considered to be the mark of a large series of British badge restrikes produced in the 1970s. The important tell-tales are the full stop or period between the "T" of Gaunt and the "L" of London, and the length of 15mm. Not to be confused with the very similar mark without the full stop which is considered to be genuine, and the less frequently encountered "gaunt with a dot" mark shown on the right. J.R.GAUNT.LONDON 11mm Royal Norfolk Regiment The somewhat uncommon, but believed authentic, "Gaunt with a dot mark". This is a noticeably shorter mark than the restrike mark shown left. Cheers Tony.

Gaunt moved their operations to Birmingham in 1964 (or was it '63). The Lpl Irish officers badge had this mark - but only worn between 1964 to 1967. I know mine (in a laarge font) is genuine because i bought it from a military tailor's in Lpl.
