Deumer Tombak GAB

[tenten]

Hey guys,
what do you think about the silver finish on this Deumer GAB? Looks a bit like painted to me, but as far as I know the original ones were spray painted... so could this be normal wear and tear or does it look like a re-finish to you? Do you have pictures of other badges of this type to compare?
Thanks for your help!

This is my example in tombak, with really similar finish IMO.
Maybe in mine badge is little down then yours...

And this one the hollow version in zinc with another finish

I suppose we can find the Deumer GAB with two finish on, if i remember good are there around other Solid Deumer badge with this light finish


All the best

Thanks, Nicola. I was able to find other images on the web that show a very similar finish with the same kind of wear, so with yours also showing that kind of chipped off paint I'm quite convinced now to have found a good Deumer badge

Hi Dirk

It may be just my eye or the way the pictures were taken but, to me, the silver on the front of your tombac badge seems more "aluminum/silver" than the back on yours which is the same shade as both sides on mine. The finisih on my zinker(although different than on the tombac badge) also has the same shade/colour finish on both sides...No idea if its meaningful or not

All nice Deumers in this thread. I too like the finish on the one that tenten posted that started this thread, it is a finish type we have seen on other Deumer badges as well.
