Badge 'Validity'

Thanks GGA,

I have one of these also, but would you happen to know if the Birmingham Mint produced a version of the badge below?

I believe that I have the complete set of 52 badges produced by the Birmingham Mint and the only Royal Norfolk is without the "THE NORFOLK TABLET" tablet and is as shown in my post 15.

White metal with yellow metal name tablet, "JR GAUNT LONDON":

Thanks Leigh,

Opinions seem to be pretty divided on this badge. Where do you stand?

I've always assumed that it's a wrong 'un, metal does'nt seem bad but the slider seems rather modern & the yellow metal's not very neatly applied.

What about the bi-metal version, in general; 'yay' or 'nay'?

Well here's mine. Never known what it is and always regarded it as 'iffy.' Different construction to the one above and not maker marked, but it is solid and 'feels' good.

Thanks Jeep.

The more this thread progresses, the muddier the waters seem to be getting.

That's the one I've posted, I don't have any evidence one way or the other, but somehow they just don't seem right to me.
