Post British Legion Badges - Letters

While checking on something else I found an old (2008) post about the letters on some BL badges .

https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...0&postcount=11

I don't know if Jerry ever managed to find an answer but here is a list based on badges I have.




A: Small (20mm) post 1945 BL badge with button hole fitting made by Gaunt (and sub contractors Jones & Jason/Ludlow/Roden).

A1: As above but only on Gaunt.

B: Bandsman , QVC with small (20mm) BL badge , Gaunt MM and B+number on slider.

C: Collar , seen on 'tablet' (C+number) attached to lugged badge. No makers mark.

D: Honorary , small (20mm) with button hole fitting. No makers mark.

F: Honorary , small (20mm) with vertical pin fitting. No makers mark.

G: Gold , small (20mm) members badge.

H: Hat , lugged QVC hat/beret badge with small (20mm) BL center. No makers mark.

K: British Legion For Merit badge (also on old lion RBL).

M: Miniature unvoided with screw post fitting.

P: Small (20mm) post 1945 BL badge with vertical pin fitting , Gaunt makers mark.

T: Tie pin , unvoided with no makers mark (possibly Gaunt as BM & Co voided tie pins and miniatures are marked).


Did BL Youth/Youth Club and Life Member badges have letters , I only have RBL versions ?

Anyone got/seen any other letters , your help would be appreciated.
