It comes from a good collection looking at the others, BUT,

The Gaunt plate for Birmingham is dodgy

Its plated and not white metal (note the loops)

I dont like it.

regards

Thanks Simon. I agree - some very dodgy items in my opinion and certainly not for me.

Yes, I'm afraid a number of members previously seemed to be in favour of this badge. The silence is deafening now it seems to be raining 1VB Leicester badges -complete, of course, with Gaunt B'ham plaques. How on earth does one seller seem to acquire several? I have always found genuine VB badges extremely difficult to find.
