I just purchased this no 65 marked wound badge at a local gun show. Purchased as a silver but when photographed I now wonder if this is silver or a washed out gold wound badge.

Silver for me.
Had good advice? Saved money? Why not become a Gold Club Member, just hit the green "Join WRF Club" tab at the top of the page and help support the forum!
Agreed, toned silver. 9 times out of 10 if it were gold the pin and hinge would still have some or nearly all the finish left, this doesn't.

nice badge,silver.
Thank you - I looked and I agree too. The camera must have picked up some yellow color from the lighting.
I believe it's the frosting or 'silver' coating - similar to
the frosting we see on Iron Crosses - that has
simply aged somewhat.........
Regards,
Steve.
