A bit of an oddity. An unfinished one. Unpainted, no pin.

[Jef]

Silver Cut-out type. Non magnetic. Think it's silver plated because there is a brassy shine on it. Or am I wrong?

Silver wash over brass or tombak, cut-out type.

[Scott]

Fold-over hinge and flat sheet catch.

Some opinions on this hollow example would be appreciated. I know these types are rare, and I don't recall ever seeing a fake one. But what do you think of the fastening setup? Definitely not what I usually see on these....

It looks like it was originally a screwback that was converted. Is that verdigis around the hinge and catch or a poor job of soldering?

Here is another Imperial cutout in Silver that I recently purchased.

Question.. When reviewing this thread I've noticed a difference in the number of "beads" on the top of the badges. Am I correct in assuming there were varients? It would make sense give there were a multitude of manufacturers correct?

Regards,

Joel
