FIFE AND FORFAR J.R.GAUNT B'HAM
Now I've managed to source a Fife and Fofar Yeomanry cap badge I'm happy with, thanks to member NEMO. I thought I'd post the Gaunt B'ham it replaces.
After some research on the forum, the date for Gaunt B'ham marked badges is from 1966. This badge should date to prior to 1956, when the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry amalgamated with the Scottish horse. Regards Tony.

I think a 1966 issue will have the large "J.R.GAUNT LONDON" mark...... the B'HAM is post 1970 isnt it? Wasn't the last issue a small Thane with slider for the beret?

The Fife and Forfar wore the large Fife badge in w/m on a black beret. Some time in the 50s the small Gaunt London badge was introduced which was then replaced by the amalgamation badge following their merger with the Scottish horse in 1956. This comes in both white-metal and a/a.
Both the large Thain and the post 56 badge were reproduced by Gaunt Bham. If there were ever candidates for the re-use of old dies then these badges are the best examples. Last edited by Alan O; 07-12-13 at 01:51 PM. Reason: change to w/m!
