erichjr Posted November 3, 2013 Share #1 Posted November 3, 2013 Picked up this dui to the 14th infantry regiment, Its marked on the back J.R. Gaunt New York Made in England. Never seen one like this, did J R Gaunt have a office in New York? Erich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted November 4, 2013 Share #6 Posted November 4, 2013 I agree...very nice! Yes, Gaunt did actually have an NY outlet. Just for clarification Ian, seeing that we've seen more than a few with this hallmark, just where was this DI, and those similarly hallmarked Gaunt pieces made? It says J.R. Gaunt New York but also Made in England. So what does this really mean, made over in England and sent to America, where they were distubuted out of a office that Gaunt had in New York? I mean if it was made in New York by Gaunt, wouldn't the hallmark read J.R. Gaunt England Made in USA or Made in New York? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erichjr Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted November 6, 2013 I would say its made in England for us soldiers, I wonder if any us company's made insignia for the British military? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted November 6, 2013 Share #8 Posted November 6, 2013 Just think in terms of these modern "parfumiers" who label their products "London, Paris, New York"....probably actually made in China!? Check out the Luxenberg brand officers' visor in another current thread....marked "Madison Ave., NYC....Made in England"! Go figure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about as clear as mud Not sure though where New York fits in with all of this, I guess Gaunt had a NYC distribution outlet/office for their Made in England insignia.

vzemke Posted December 4, 2013 Share #11 Posted December 4, 2013 Yes, made in England to sell to US Soldiers in the US. Likely pre-WWII in this case. Gaunt was a HUGE maker of military insignia. One of the large insignia makers for British military forces, they made some US insignia before, during, and after WWII. I would say its made in England for us soldiers, I wonder if any us company's made insignia for the British military? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
