Got this in the mail today: http://surl.se/aspe
A stamped sheet of brass with a quite scarce wound badge type.
I don't really know if I should believe in this piece but for $15.50 it doesn't really matter if it's not the real deal.
The lack of patina speaks for that it might have been stamped yesterday. It haven't got as much detail as my other two badges of this type, maybe stamped with a really worn die or maybe even a reproduction of a die?
On the other hand, it could have been stored away under good conditions and was just recently discovered. It does have some scratches and the edges of the sheet isn't shining bright, something that I would expect on a newly cut sheet of metal.
Please fire away any opinions, they are highly appreciated.
Regards,
Henrik
