JNoble Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 (edited) I know we have all seen steel and brass used to make these badges but how many have you seen with copper being used. Edited November 26, 2005 by JNoble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dond Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Actually, I think that one is made of Tombak, which is a mix of brass and copper. You see the same thing on the early bronze PABs by Wurster.Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNoble Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 Yes Rick pin and all, as you can see by the broken catch its the same all the way though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike K Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Actually, I think that one is made of Tombak, which is a mix of brass and copper...DonHi,I'd agree with Don's evaluation - looks like patinated tombak to me. A nice honest example though! The only pure copper badges I've seen have been repros. RegardsMike K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 And many, many reasons why copper would not have been a suitable base metal to work in as well! Nice honest badge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
