As for the Gaunt hallmark? I believe I have seen US Army insignia with the New York connection dating from SpanAm up through Vietnam. I'm sure some of the more knowledgeable Gaunt insignia collectors can be more precise.

 

Here are a couple shots of the roller. It doesn't show too well, but it does have a serrated thumb grip edge.

 

Also, here are a couple shots bobgee sent me of another Gaunt emblem that was listed on eBay a while back. This one is in it's dress uniform. As you can see, identical bird, anchor, continents, rope fouling, and what appears to be the same roller. The only difference between the dress emblem and my service emblem appears to be the dress being multi-piece construction. They both carry the identical hallmark. If I had known this dress emblem was on eBay, it would have given me good cause to break into my piggy bank to try and put the set together.
