        it weighs 32.4g which is less than I thougt it would be. Its not zinc though- could it be nickle silver?

          It's a zinc made one with a brass coating for the finish.

            I would tend to agree with Andreas, a copper coated zink badge. Note the zinc-like reverse hardware.

            If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little

              Thanks guys- the plating is definitely yellow in colour so I would guess brass? anyone else got one like this?

                Hi Patrick,

                Fischer has one (ofcourse, he has EVERYTHING!), her she is.

                Can you provide a weight of yours, that would confirm we are looking at a brass-coated zinker rather than a true solid brass piece?

                I also have a nice, thickly plated zinc S&L, weight is 33.1 grams. Yours should be comprable. If it were solid brass, the weight would be more like 40 grams in my opinion.

                  Hi Patrick

                  I agree with Andreas and Tom, your badge has a brass coating over the zinc base material.

                    Thanks Guys- Fischer can we see the setup on yours?- I don't know now if mine is repaired or not.

                    Thanks

                    Patrick

                      Hello Patrick

                      Here is the reverse...Mine is an Oval Hinge variant with a vertical positioned sheet metal catch. This hardware set up can also be found on S&L PAB's.

                        Thanks Fischer, I think the catch on mine is probably replaced as hinge is the same as you find on the later s&ls that are crimped in

                          I agree Patrick, the catch has been replaced.

                          Best Regards, fischer
