They certainly did. It's always been my suspicion that Firmin and Gaunt worked hand in hand. Similar size font on their genuine branded sliders, slider shape, length etc.

[KLR]

The earliest Gaunt plaque on a KLR OR badge was the Foreign Service (1st Bn). It is almost certainly the first die (probably around 1896) . There are others that are curved - I'll get the dimensions for you later. There is also a small circular plaque on Lpl Scots piper's Glengarry badge (on my album) and on NCO sporrans - both 1908 Patterns.
