Default 17/21st Motto

I believe this to be a 1980s 17/21st Lancer Motto, any comments?

Nice white metal.

The London Badge & Button Company was formed on 10 December 1973. The company was started by Mr Keith Riddle, who had worked for J.R.Gaunt & Sons Ltd. LB&BC was an entirely new company, not bought off the shelf. This information has come from Keith Riddle himself.
When Keith Riddle retired, the company was bought by some of the LB&BC managers. They sold the company to Poston Products Ltd., a firm that was incorporated on 3 December 1940. The latter company was in financial difficulties, but wished to continue trading. After the purchase, Poston Products and LB&BC exchanged identities, on 28 January 2000.
This Motto is a copy of the Gaunt type 4 with some minor alterations.

Thanks Griff, as ever our resident motto expert. It ties in with what I thought
