VERY nice ! What grade is this ?

**Walkwolf** · 06-01-2011, 01:00 AM

Banksy, this is a black badge. The painted finish has worn off
the front but there is plenty remaining on the reverse.

Another indicator is that it is hollow.............

**banksy** · 06-01-2011, 02:13 AM

So are gold grade solid backed ?

Sorry for all the questions !

**Walkwolf** · 06-01-2011, 03:07 AM

Yes, 'gold' and 'silver' grade badges both have solid backs - However, there is
a rumor that some hollow-back tombac/brass badges without any
black paint may have been used as 'gold' grade.

There are tombac/brass, steel and zinc badges from the WWII era.

Here is a 'Black' grade, similar to Atle M's badge above
but with no paint at all............
