A little concerned about the one on the right. It has a bronze/brass look,
and I cannot see a trace of any black, silver or gold finish. I like the
top one for it's 'economic' one-piece constrruction.........

Hello Steve
Possibly stripped of paint a long time ago & a natural patina has formed?
I don't really know but the details look good. As for the top one, it looks like
the DRGM marked ones without the DRGM.
Regards
Brett

I've heard that because of shortages in late WWII, the thing to do was
to wear black-grade tombac brass badges with no paint whatsoever
to represent gold grade types - I wonder if that is the case here ?
There was a deep economic depression on over there
after WWI........

detailing in the leaves.........
