The badge is surrounded by a Canadian maple leaf wreath, with lower scroll reading "North West Mounted Police", and upper "Canada" scroll. The badge has an excellent white metal patina. The reverse of the badge has both original lugs, and retains its famous Gaunt disk. The disk reads "J.R. GAUNT & SON LONDON", with disk being in the center of the badge..
