don Posted June 12, 2005 Author Share Posted June 12, 2005 It is not magnetic.I don't want to try and take any paint off it. No pebble detail on the back.Thanks for the time. :violent-smiley-017: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 OK, well it's not steel, so that lets out an "upgraded" black grade.Gold should be Nice like this, not Iiiiiiicky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don Posted June 12, 2005 Author Share Posted June 12, 2005 That is what I have been trying to figure out if it was a black painted or just a fake.Nothing on it is magnetic.Any ways thanks for your time Rick don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 OK, well it's not steel, so that lets out an "upgraded" black grade.You do get non-magnetic black badges though. Or have I misunderstood something.Has the badge been treated chemically to give the gold effect instead of painting? Strange about the pebble detail not being there though.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 Might be.Looking at it closer I dont think it is painted.Maybe it is brass. Nothing on it is magnetic. Thanks for time don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 I have seen pictures of other wound badges with low pebble detail on back don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I'm not sure what to make of this one...... the color puts me off, but the pin/hinge/catch look OK. The lack of detail on the reverse doesn't bother me too much....... Imperial Flight Badges (stamped/issue) have almost no detail on the reverse other than the outlines of the leaves, etc..... no pebbling.An odd and interesting bird :excl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
