Replacing Enamel Badge Fittings

[The Badger]

Any one know the best way to replace half-moon type fittings on enamel lapel badges, as I have a few that have been board mounted and had the fitting cut/broken off.

Thanks Alan

Hello Alan,

Anytime I have such a problem and all of the parts, as many times the fittings have been lost through the years, I have used epoxy to reattach them. Of course this means one can only display the item as any use could break the fitting off again. Soldering is, in my opinion, a tricky business at best even without any enamel as the heat discoulours the badge.

Regards
