Default RWAFF with Gaunt metal slider

Found this lovely example going through a few unexplored draws. Looks like very early Gaunt slider to me. As RWAFF disbanded 1957 (?) this would appear to be quite early and I can't recall seeing another.

Any comments?

Harry

PS also attached a pic of the others I found it with. If anyone could help with some of the titles that would be nice too.

Nice collection Harry. Difficult to tell from the image; is this the only AA badge on the card? I think there might be two sizes for the RWAFF cap-badge manufactured in Agonised Ally – Small and Large.

I have an identical badge with JR Gaunt slider and another with a slider marked 'T&S' - Toye and Spencer, I guess?

Fotos attached

Best regards

William

Hi Harry,

Stupid here did not quite understand this last post.

Do you have a small RWAFF in A/A or just a large one.

Regards

Chris
