Is this an officers pattern badge that has been chromed.
Or even a O/Rs, but would not thought it would have had a makers mark.
Maker marked JR GAUNT LONDON.

Yes that would fit, did not think about blades being removed and replaced with lugs.
do you think its a made up item do deceive, or do you think it was worn in service.
and if worn in service, by an officer ?

I cant say, but I doubt it was done in service.

Thanks Simon.
Could not see an officer wearing a chromed badge, and at time time could not see a O/R wearing it either.

I have a chromed RE GviR on my board of RE badges, I have it down as being worn by officers of 32 Assault Regt during WWII.
