[KRISSE]

Not good. Looks like Jay Lenno's skull...

Do let me answer your question, which lacks the needed key word of "please," with a query about your own assessment of the item.
Do you think it is real? Please tell us what you think first, then we can answer you better.

or....???

These items are not mine. It is an old picture from more than a decade ago in a less jaded time.

but, how do you compare the first object to these?

PS these are authentic badges, by the way as are the items on my own caps......

[coogan]

To me , the second two look to have heavier castings with less detail on the inscription. I also notice there are stampings on the pins of the one on the left that may be missing on the other two. The eyes are a different on the two one the right.

Is this a machine that "casts" metal?


ANDWERKSKUNST of PICHL at that time and today

In 170 years of company history PICHL medals have changed so many production methods. Especially molds for anniversary coins and badges were modeled by us decades ago exclusively by hand and fonts with letters from the set box compiled. Then came the panthograph, which now Pantograph writes and later the completely digital workflow with CNC engraving machines.
What has not changed:

The expertise of the specialists and the precise work on the embossing tool determine the effect of a coin or coin
Especially in portraits, skilled craftsmanship is the mastery of the fact that the person depicted is really "hit". It requires a lot of experience and years of practice.

As far as the model is concerned, today, as before, we attach great value to the highest quality, because we can guarantee the highest accuracy - especially with portraits - with craftsmanship!
Modernization is reflected in the Wie

Everything revolves around the "Prägestempel". This stamp consists of a piece of tool steel in which the engraver engraves a negative image of the coin or medal. The quality of the stamp makes a decisive difference to the effect of the finished product. How the engraver makes this stamp has changed significantly over the years:

Today's computer-assisted design and precise manufacture of modern CNC machines is the result of decades of pure craftsmanship: the desired contours were drawn and then the motif was worked out of the steel with fine engravings, chisels and files. Fonts were often engraved "by hand".

How many models and engravings have been created with ours, our engravers, who often spend their entire professional career with us, can not estimate the best. But: The use of pantograph engraving machines was a major relief. One of our Graveurmeister, who was present at the launch, is still working in our engraving department. With them it was possible to mill a magnified template into the embossing tool. The template could then be two - dimensional - then the engraver subsequently hand - ed the three - dimensional design - or he produced a three - dimensional model of wax, gypsum or synthetic resin and then copied it into the tool steel with the three - dimensional pantograph machine. How does a pantograph work? The principle is simple: the pantograph, also "Allesschreiber" or "Storchschnabel", transfers drawings on the same, larger or smaller scale. Well explained in this demonstration.

Today, more than 10 years ago, the Pichl engravers used modern CNC engraving machines to produce the tools as precisely and cost - effectively as possible. A digital workflow from the first design to the fully calculated milling paths is essential to ensure the quality is right and there is no deviation.
The material: precious metals give the coin a higher nominal value

In addition to the embossing tool, the material also decides about the feeling of a coin or coin. The more important the jubilee, or the more elitist the recipient of an award, the more often precious metals such as silver, gold and sometimes also platinum are used. For special awards and occasions, commemorative coins - from any kind of metal - are ideal. Because form, color, and surface can be adapted to your wishes: in the first step, the idea is transformed into a form that gives this new medal or its own, characteristic form.
Each company has its own glossy coin

Each company is as unique as its founders and jubilees. How could the Jubilee be perpetuated better than in the form of a commemorative coin? For smaller runs, the material is literally not so important. 100 coins with a diameter of 40 mm made of brass or copper with a silver plated surface starting from € 6,50 exclusive VAT available!

Did you know that your idea of ​​the PICHL graphics service will be turned into a professional design for free? This allows you to decide without risk on the basis of a true-to-nature representation whether you are 100% satisfied with the result before the coin is produced!

Einfache Hammerprägung mit Unter- und Oberstempel

Ein Prägestempel ist das klassische Umformwerkzeug in der Münz- und Medaillenproduktion, findet aber auch in der Bearbeitung von Papier und vergleichbaren Materialien Verwendung. Ein üblicher Anwendungsfall ist beispielsweise der Prägedruck auf Urkunden.
Arbeitsweise bei der Münzprägung

Bei der Münzprägung wirken zwei Prägestempel gleichzeitig auf den vorbereiteten Münzrohling ein, um Vorder- und Rückseite der Münze zu prägen. Ein Beispiel ist die seit der Antike bekannte Hammerprägung.

Ein weiteres Beispiel ist die Ringprägung. Hier wird der Münzrohling - oft mit einer Vorschubzange - in einen Prägering geschoben. Nachdem der Rohling eingeschoben ist, bewegen sich die beiden Prägestempel von oben und unten gleichzeitig auf den Rohling zu. Mit einem Druck von bis zu 200 Tonnen wird die Münze geprägt. Ähnlich ist die Arbeitsweise auch bei Papier-Prägestempeln.

Wenn für die Münzprägung der Vorderseitenstempel mit dem Rückseitenstempel einer anderen Münze gekoppelt wird, handelt es sich um eine Zwittermünze. Diese Prägung bezeichnet man als Zwitterprägung.[1]

One of you beginner "scull" seekers can cut and paste the above words into the magic box and see the answer for yourselves. I have spent too much time doing this
in the past couple of days, and someone else can carry the burden.

[nbushyager]

And let me say this: I asked you to explain to me how you, yourself, analyze this evidence. I plainly do it differently than you do, and I honestly struggle to understand
the visual and memory process involved in this effort by a beginner. It interests me as a professional. If you deem my interest as that of a bully and a wind bag, then so be it.
Some familiarity with the processes whereby these things were made seems to me as an essential basis before you spend a thousand dollars on a pig in a poke.
Guilty as charged.

I think what the previous guy means is that as a new collector we do ask detailed questions and we just get back "compare and what do you think". For instance, I asked about the pins placement on the back and that where they were appeared wrong. Trying to ask very specific and I was just told to compare. I don't know if there are variations in this type of thing or this never changes. That is through the eyes and thought process of a newbie. If I can get answers on these specific questions, then I can add that to my knowledge and not have to ask again. Otherwise, I don't know what to continue looking at. The knowledge is yours to share if you desire - but that is through my eyes of a novice.

Respectfully,
Nick
