Hi Bill,
I am going through my Canadian material and will compile a list of makers markings that I have. There may very well be duplication for you but that can't really be helped, I'm afraid. Also please bear with me as I can't scan the backs and my camera is playing up. But the info is there. 1. 2eme Regiment de Quebec. Premier Bataillon. - (Maker: JC RONDEAU QUEBEC) 2. 46th Bn - smooth plain back - (Maker: SERVICE SUPPLY ROCHESTER) 3. 64th Bn (Maker: R.J. INGLIS LIMITED) GTB |

Bill
You identified a white metal 27th Battalion badge as having the maker "Twigg & Co" (UK) in post #2. Can you put an image of the makers mark up please? J R Gaunt purchased them in the early 1920s I believe?

Hello Griff, unfortunately, the mm was reported and I don't have an image in the data base. I will try to get an image.

Thanks Bill.... its a rare mark I think. Gaunt purchased the company at around the same time they bought out Jennens & Co I believe.

Thanks Rob. Added to the data base. Now, the question is what sizes of buttons did they make?
