Default Unusual Gaunt naming
The badge looks right enough but never seen this pattern of gaunt naming before. Any thoughts?

Badge might be good..... but somebody got a stamp set for Christmas?

The lower Firmin mark is a stamp set...

That was my thought too.

They hit the first 3 letters so hard you can see the outline of the punch too Got a bit lighter as they went along though.

Thanks everybody, what a shame they felt the need to do this.
Cheers

Surprising how many people believe that a maker mark means its genuine I've been told this several times by sellers at markets/car boot etc

I had a perfectly good badge knocked back by an expert at the car boot sale last week because it was a fake due to it not having a maker mark. He was most adamant that he was right and given that he was so well informed I'm glad to have met him and had the benefit of receiving his wisdom. Where would we be without experts
