2 verwundeten abzeichen 1939 in gold

[unimarc]

Hi guys,
I got these 2 mm 30 badges in gold ( or formerly gold :-).
The story is, I just got the first one pictured , it has remains of gold and typically the needle is still gold. When I received it, I "dug out" number 2 pictures to compare. I've had that one for about 30 years and always considered it a silver with a brass needle !! But as you can see it turned out to be a gold one, with no gold left except on the needle . Strange how the finish can totally disappear over the years :-?

Actually, not strange at all. Quite typical for this maker if the item is not stored properly.
Nice pair, unfortunate about the finish being completely gone though.

Hi Ralph,
I was not referring to these 2 in particular, just the fact that ALL finish can disappear ;-)
