922F Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) If gold or silver gilt, metal fineness marks would appear, usually on large wreath ribbon ties at bottom of badge or on badge suspension lug or ribbon ring. Same locations for maker marks. Lack of marks & wear to badge suggests bronze-gilt example to me. Edited August 5, 2020 by 922F spelchek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graf Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 In my opinion that this one is brass model -4th Republic Very robust even to be silver gilded I might be wrong Two examples Gold and Silver Gild You can compare Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graf Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I agree with 992F Lack of clear marks and in my opinion lack of good quality, suggests bronze gild. Here is another example of good quality silver gild with well placed mark for silver -'boar head" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
