Default Upper Thames Patrol
Upper Thames Patrol badge with slider and makers name “J.R. GAUNT LONDON” on slider. Is this type a copy? I have seen a number for sale described as original badges which all have lugs on the reverse and no makers details so I wondering about slider examples.
Thanks
Andrew

If you can post a picture of both sides, it would help a lot. There are a few different Gaunt marks, some good and some bad.

The badge looks new but as it had a makers name it was a interest.

Andrew,
this is what a good one should look like, just look at the finer detail and the overall quality!
