Very nice Alli,
It is Gaunt. I'm sure it will be well looked after.

It will be and thanks for the heads up, if you can find an Irish Guards at that price I'd appreciate it

Well I love the attached badge just as much and deliberately bought it in this condition. I like a good, humble badge but it's hard to beat a bit of glamorous Guards bling especially if it's hallmarked

Yes and no. Was this not actually Birmingham Mint, who owned Gaunt at that time? The original Gaunt mark is JRG&S.
