Hello all .....

I would be interested in hearing your opinions of this badge..

It looks much better in person.. These images are a little dark and blueish in color.

The badge has, what I would qualify as, a natural patina..

It has crisp detail and very high quality..

Thanks in advance...

Brian,

Would you mind elaborating on "reverse ray setup from the originals on the back" ? I don't understand..

Best....

Mike

Thanks Mike K,

I've been reading several threads here and on WA. I've learned quite a bit. Wish I had done the reading before I posted the images of this badge.. I'll be sending it back on Tuesday..

That is interesting about the Poellath firm, thanks for the link..

All the best..

Hi,

I'll put in my two bob's worth - this is one that I would not buy for two main reasons;

1) the shape of the crown well, where the hinge is placed &

2) the spider-patina which looks like artificial aging.

I can't make out umlats over the O in Pollath either, but that may only be the images.

Regards

Mike

Thanks Mike, I agree.. I also have a problem with the casting flaw on the reverse lower right crown.

Do you know why there are two spellings? Do you think this is a red flag?
