WW1 Officers Tank Corps Badge Made by J.R.Gaunt London

 This is a lovely badge. Similar to the Tank Corps badge but with a silver tank in the centre and the rest of the badge is bronze. The reverse has the usual two lugs and is stamped J.R.Gaunt. I think these were badges that officers could purchase from J.R.Gaunt.
