Hi Frank
I went through my Gaunt buttons recently to see if the different back marks could be linked to different eras, the only two "J.R.GAUNT & SON LONDON ENG" were both Officers medium sized which made me wonder if it was an abbreviation to fit on a smaller area, but looking at them again there are two dots after the "ENG" one of which which may be a tiny "D"? They were The Queens (West Surry) pre 1909 The West Yorkshire Reg (POW Own) post 1936 So pretty inconclusive datewise too. Rob |

Hi Frank, in my limited searches for gaunt buttons for the line regiments, I have not come across this mark. Hopefully a real button person will come along with some info
cheers, Tim |

I have found it on 9 buttons, most of them are these small mounted mess dress buttons

Okay, many thanks gentlemen, I think I can reasonably assume that the use of this particular back stamp is likely to have been brought about by the size of the particular buttons upon which it was used, rather than anything else.
