Problem for me is the badge has a gilt finish, as if unissued, would that be correct?
Also the loops have feet, would that be ok for Gaunt?
Regards,
Bill.

Hi Bill,
Here's mine for comparison. Very similar to yours and on examination, I note that mine has lugs with small feet.
Cheers, Tinto

Bill

I saw it on ebay and would have bought it if I hadn't already had one, looks a very nice genuine badge IMHO. One thing I have noticed recently is that the price of RND badges has taken a bit of a dip even on some dealer's sites so now is a good time to buy as I'm sure they will go up again (especially with the 100th anniversary of the start of WWI next year).
