GAB Bronze

[VonLuger]

Bronze GAB?-I can find no evidence of a Bronze Grade GAB awarded or even used! who would qualify????
Only Silver GAB's were awarded, the bronze color is the buntmetall...the "75" GAB had a gold color wreath on a silver badge thats as close as we get....

Philippe, persanaly I think that buntmetal badges coverded by special lacquer only. I think that bronzing of bronze grade awards, which made from yellow colour base metal is not practically and superfluous procedure.

Hi Sergey,

Here are a couple the proof the contrary

First a 2pattern daisy with dark chocolate tone finish
Second a hollow sc Zimmermann with gold reverse finish

How many more bronze buntmetall badges with finish do you want to see, just let me know

and the sc Zimmermann

Philippe it is only confirm my estimates. The badges which you shown made from different bronze alloys and therefore have different hues of their colours.

Hi Sergey,


Really don't know what your trying to proof the color you see on the badges I posted above is pure finish.

So i'll give it one more try, here is obverse of the sc Zimmermann, unless you would argue that it's made out of two different kinds of buntmetall, one for the obverse and one for the reverse, I think there is no way you could argue that this badge didn't receive a finish.

Philippe it is different hues of bronze alloy or different colour of laquer only, but it is not a bronzed tombak badges. IMO
