Hallmarked Gaunt badge
Hi,
Did gaunt ever make hallmarked silver badges with copper/brass lugs or silver plated lugs? https://www.ebay.ie/itm/334243864305...sAAOSwkE5hrRR6 Thanks in advance R |

They definitely made sterling badges with copper lugs so I suppose there may be hallmarked examples too.
Cheers, Alex |

...the true 17th Lancer mottos 1898-20, to me, are the most valuable. Be they Officers or Other Ranks. The Hallmark is the positive (and valuable) key to indicate that period. The makers mark.... J&Co and B&P being the most desired. I have yet to see a Firmin made Officers Cap Motto from that period BTW...... Gaunt yes..... but still no Firmin.

I would not be happy with that, I would expect to see rather short lugs in thick silver wire.
