rumjar Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 two stamped out badges coated in what looks like bakerlite 1917-18 issue.http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_06_2009/post-6733-1244064188.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_06_2009/post-6733-1244064213.jpg
leigh kitchen Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Can you elaborate on the bakelite look please? Not just chemically bronzed or brown painted as per Officers Servce Dress insigna, but coated in another substance?
leigh kitchen Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 This badge looks at first glance, to be silver, but "tarnishes" a very light gold colour, not like brass. I'm assuming that it is brass though, minus its bronze finish?
