Heer SA-Sports Badge

[AlecH]

Hello All,

I've been offered this SA Sports Badge, but I'm uncertain if its Bronze or Gold. Can any collectors please tell me.

Regards

Looks Bronze to me.

The easy way to tell is:

if there is any doubt-- it's bronze.

Bronzes are often polished to make them SHINY "gold" but that is done by scraping off the finish down to the bare metal. If what you see is shiny base metal, it is a bronze class that has been polished much too much.

I think that would be the case for a Tombak badge Rick, but I had one that was Steel and it had been polished (or well worn) where it almost looked like a silver one.

I'm with Rick here.

Gold ones always look like gold and bronze ones sometimes look gold.

It's bronze in my opinion.
