Attached images show an AA Somerset LI cap-badge.
At home, I also have a badge the same as the one currently for sale on Ebay - Nice badge, but it's not AA. Am not at home right now, so unable to post images. Perhaps the eventual purchaser of the Ebay item will let us know whether the badge is AA or not? Caveat emptor |

Looks like a silver-plated badge to me and, while I'd bow to hagwalther's expertise on AA badges, the Gaunt B'ham slider also suggests it is a 'wrong un' to me.

Hi, this badge is also being discussed in the restrike section. It is the Birmingham Mint badge. I believe there is a picture in one of the albums.

I'm sure you mean well with your advice, however you are quite wrong on this one! It's a silvered metal Birmingham Mint production and not Anodised Aluminium! Hope it's not Forum members biddding? Andy |

Hi Guys,
1. It doesn't look like A/A to me. 2. It's not a known A/A Gaunt slider - I've identified 10 different A/A Gaunt sliders so far. 3. As the unit completed service in 1959 and the mark J.R.GAUNT B'HAM is not know (at least on A/A items) until 1966 I would state that the item may well be a dud. Regards Chris |

Thank you Andy and William, I stand humbly corrected. I am also amazed! The Birmingham Mint production line has clearly passed me by in blissful oblivion! I have learned something today and thank you all for putting me right.

If you are bidding on this then there is an identical one for £3.25 also on ebay.!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Somerset-L...item2c604f6008 I would be going to the ebay help page and looking up bid retraction if was you. Last edited by Alan O; 29-10-11 at 10:14 AM. |

It finally went for £82.
Seller added this message: "To the best of my knowledge this is as described above. However if the winner is not satisfied with the above item I will offer a full refund on return of the badge. Thanks" Can't say fairer than that. |
