Hi James, I think the scanner is playing havoc with the bronze colors. If you look at the reverse, the zinc is more apparent around the raised rims of the wreath. Both badges are zinc. As I mentioned earlier, I can provide weights and measurements, if that prooves anything, one way or the other. Regards, Mark

Hi Rich, I have been waiting and watching, with disappointment. I will try to post some weights and dimensions tonight or tomorrow. I guess most people are intersted in J2s or Ground Assault Badges. Nothing wrong with that, but eventually, many collectors develop an interest in Spanges. Regards, Mark

Rich, Your recollection and mine, then, are the same. Rings are not a guarantee, but are a good sign. Lack of rings........... well........ I am honestly not sure? And I do not recall with conclusiveness that the topic has ever been addressed, and resolved! Here are some additional close-ups. As always, if the (my) Spange is not good, I want to be the first to know. Regards, Mark

Hi Rich, Sorry for the delayed reply. No excuse, other than just being lazy! Here are some additional images of the bronze Fighter. I do not see any rotary milling marks. I can't remember the axiom. Are all authentic Flight Spanges manufactured with this, and only this process??? Looking closely at the reverse, I wonder about the coloration inside the perimeter of the wreath? I tried lacquer thinner on a Qtip. The reddish tint is permanent, and is NOT soluable. Regards, Mark

Thanks Paul, and again, to some of the 'Top Brass', for the positive replys! As I mentioned earlier, I don't do Ribbons, so this was just a wild stab. It's rare, these days, that good deals turn up. Mark -

Rick and Stogie, Howdee and thanks for the comments. What book is a good primer for me to purchase, to get me up and running on ribbons. It's fascinating just how much info can be drawn from a ribbon bar. A bit like a sample of DNA. Regards, Mark -
