    Those little dimples along the lower left reverse seem to be from the gilding process when viewed under my stereoscope.

    Badge is definitely die stamped as it has the die release marks all around the edge.

    Mike,

    Thanks, It was so cheap I have always wondered. Put this one in the trash box. Thanks. Happy holidays to you.

    Or could be used by re-enactors, or as an example in a museum display, or as an inexpensive collecting alternative. If you do keep it, or pass it on, I would suggest irreversibly marking the piece so that it can never be interpreted as a period badge. "counterfeit" carved into the reverse comes to mind. Just a thought.

    (This issue is near the surface to me because soon I will be interested in buying a recognized fake award as a place holder. But that's going to be a different thread altogether)
