      Thanks for the closeoups of the eagle, it confirms for me its an FLL.

      Its not zink, its a brass example IMO. You can see in several worn areas the yellow/gold base metal under the silver finish.

      Its possible that its a zink with brass coating. But either way, a very nice early FLL in nicely worn condition with some excellent patina.

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

            The lack of any oxidation bubbling suggests this is a brass badge, not zink IMO.

              I've tested it on my own badge years ago. I can not post pictures to show it unfortunately...
