Jock Auld Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Steve, Is that laquer on the front? The back is fun, the difference in the pin condition in contrast with the rest of the badge, I am sure the pin was always there since it was made though and pictures are always different to in the hand. What do you think yourself about it? Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoman Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Jock I'm really not sure.It comes from a reputable source. The "finish" on the obverse is from a touch of Vasoline.I was treating some of my zincers and got carried away. Regards,Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Auld Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Steve, Whats one of them? I think it is ok or are they actually copying tinnies to this degree as well, probably but only really rare stuff I would have thought? Can you post a picture without the vasaline? I am not sure what you could put on Aluminum to prevent corrosion, possibly just a storage issue away from any damp? Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Looks OK to me. Material is zinc. Pete Edited August 27, 2014 by Wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoman Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Here it is without the Vasoline.As Pete correctly points out,it is zinc.Re: fakes-In my travels,I was surprised to find many low-priced items faked,crudely,but why bother???I do think this one is good.
