Hi,

Any thoughts on this badge? Think of buying it. Offered as WW2
What is your opinion?
Cheers Menno

Looks good imo, appears to be plated

[Menno]

Is it silver plated, and then polished? to make it less shiny in the field?
Or were they produced this way?
Cheers

They were sometimes silver or nickel plated, which can tarnish

When I got this badge it was very straight and new. The colour Wasn't "aged" or worn but appeared new from factory.
I showed it to some other collectors during the Market Garden weekend, and they all thought is was to new.
Traded it with the seller for a good example!
