Its a black one with its paint rubbed off. Look at the black areas by the ends of the hinge.
I dont believe there are any hollow gold examples

I don't know, call me a fool if you will, but I believe there are.
There are also silver hollows marked 81.

Don't think this one started it's life as a black one...
I'm not convinced about hollow gold or silver wound badges I'm afraid
Here is one of many discussions:

I believe it's a stripped BWB, my reasoning being the solder being so bright and clear, over years on genuine GWB's it turns a very dark grey. Furthermore, I think I can see areas where gold paint may have been sprayed on, possibly to cover points where the stripping of the paint has not been overly successful (see highlighted pic below). If I was to buy it, I would not pay anymore than the going rate for a BWB, and would also give it the acetone test. It is said that there are hollow gold badges from the period, but the actual proof is rather lacking if I recall. Not a badge for me.
