Mine sweeper badge

[David R.]

Hi guys , I cannot find an other badge with this pin set up ( Some very close). Any one with a known good badge with this setup or photos? the pin looks to be pitted with the gold paint over it. Thanks in advance for any help.

is the front tombiac?

Dear Anthony,

It is a zinc badge, as one can tell by the extra surface the hinge and catch need to better adhere to the zinc. You can also see the zinc coming through on the sides. A badge cannot be Tombak on one side and zinc on the other side, that would be a production paradox.
