Royal Munster Fusiliers badge opinions welcome
Hi
I suspect that this Royal Munster Fusiliers badge is a fake/restrike but I'm not 100% sure. Forum opinions welcome. Thanks. |

This purports to be an "all GM" badge. Certainly 12,000 were made in 1916. Gaunt never stamped their name - certainly not on an "all GM" ! However, some maker's marks have been stamped on original badges (many many years latter) to enhance the value of the badge but in reality it, it ruins the original badge.
PS I meant that Gaunt didn't stamp their name on OR badges before and during the 1st WW. Most of their officer badges were stamped ... but not all. Last edited by KLR; 10-09-21 at 12:56 PM. |
