G.K.& S.A. maker

Please can anyone help with this badge maker?

Also what period would this be, pre or post 1948?

Hi, it's Indian made. The bit that is missing is probably A.U.P. Aligarh Uttar Pradesh which is in northern India, so it would be a pre1947 badge. Though some badges were worn for some time after independence. Mike

Many thanks Mike

Did they make a range of different badges?

Hi, many makers, many badges. It has been a neglected area of badge collecting, though it's hard to tell sometimes if the badge wasn't made yesterday and the quality can vary immensely. Still it can be fun and usually cheap. Mike
