Hi GTB
Thanks for the pics. It’s hard to give an opinion as they are not very clear pics but from what I can see I like them. Have the die cast look of the officers bronze type badges with the blades. Thanks mate, very nice

Thanks for comments.
It's a shame that I don't have the facility to show decent images. But a close look at the oxidised labels clearly show the full Gaunt inscription. Even the lamp glare on the badges detracts from the original hue. The backs, being untreated, have the original bronze 'fired' look. This proves that items weren't dipped to give them their OSD colour.
I am posting another semi-blurred image of a gilt hat badge. This also has the GAUNT tablet at rear, same position as others. 2 loops.
Rgds, GTB
