Default J R Gaunt 'fakes' (unauthorised reprductions)

The company (J R Gaunt) are interested in learning about any sources manufacturing badges (of any sort but particularly non-hallmarked 'Sterling Silver' ones) and passing them off as genuine.

Any information can be sent to production@jrgaunt.co

Thank you.

If we can provide this information for Gaunt ...... from the Collecting community ......would Gaunt help us (collectors) with usefull information ie: Badge production dates by Regiment etc

If Gaunt needs a FREE employee to look through their dusty books and documents to catalogue this information then I would volunteer my services quite happily

I can certainly show one website that has a seemingly endless supply of "Perfect" Gaunt tablet badges and Gaunt "sterling silver" badges

Is this for real ! ?

If so then I hope no-one helps, aren't there enough Gaunt restrikes on the market without collectors helping to create better forgeries. Anyway, other than the early Fox glenagarry restikes Gaunt invented the bloody things or did little to stop their name appearing on them

I did that as well. And went a step further (companies house):


they changed their name from J.R. Gaunt & Son Ltd. in 2003 to this:

http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/aa...95/compdetails



CLEAVE & COMPANY LIMITED who have a site here: http://www.cleaveandcompany.com/ ????
20-22 BEDFORD ROW
LONDON
WC1R 4JS


still hanging on to the Gaunt domain though.

There is another company in the channel Islands calling themselves J.R.Gaunt & Son Ltd that own the jrgaunt.com domain. (edit: same outfit as above)

Thank you.

Your post looks extremely 'troll like' old chap. can you expand on this a bit - who wants the information? and how did you come by the 'request'??
