Ramblinfarms Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 As you know George, my experience in handling these is not what you would call extensive. But for what my opinion worth, I do like it.
REGAL UNIFORMA COLECTOR Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 As you know George, my experience in handling these is not what you would call extensive. But for what my opinion worth, I do like it.Interesting. The badge is genuine. Has the correct stamping characteristics. The threaded post is also correct in thread size. What may fool some collectors is the texture of the reverse side. This texture makes the badge look like it is cast. In actuality, the manufacture used a very crude piece of brass sheet metal with a lot of mil scale on the back of it. Notice the gold gilting on the back side. Worn off on the front, but visible on the rear. A nice stamped badge the way it ought to look.
GeorgeCL Posted August 13, 2006 Author Posted August 13, 2006 Thanks for the positive feedback Greg. I've had it for a little while and just was never 100% sure.Thanks AgainGeorge
