King's Own Malta Regiment Hybrid
This is a first for me!! King's Own Malta Regiment cap badge with makers mark J.R.Gaunt - London on the slider!! To be fair he does mention in the description that he's selling it as a re-strike/copy.

I read in other threads in here that the J.R.Gaunt London markings with a dot between "Gaunt" and "London" are fake....not restrike..

There are numerous Gaunt marks posted in the makers marks section:
Makers marks "The infamous 15mm "Gaunt with a dot". Considered to be the mark of a large series of British badge restrikes produced in the 1970s. The important tell-tales are the full stop or period between the "T" of Gaunt and the "L" of London, and the length of 15mm." .

I'm not questioning the authenticity of this badge, it is certainly NOT genuine. It's just i've never seen one with such markings. These re-strikes were originally manufactured with W&E lugs. Unusual about this is that it's got a slider (which is uncommon on this badge) plus a makers mark!! One to take note especially for anyone like me who collects colonial or Maltese badges.
Appreciate the link to the Makers Marks. Last edited by KOMalta; 24-02-21 at 01:10 PM. |
