CAB in cellophane

[sudhafen]

It struck me that about the same moment I find two unmarked coastal artillery badges, same finish in two different shops in its 'original' cellophane.

Do these look good?

Hi,
It is original late war S&L zincer. These common S&Ls and also Rettenmaiers are often found packed in such LDO marked celophanes. A hoard find may explain the fact that they are listed on several dealer sites at the moment.
Cheers,
Hubert

Thanks Hubert. I can imagine finding a big box filled with these somewhere. Would they've received their gold layer later because without being used it should be in pristine condition?
They seem to have abnormal corrosion too.

[BubbaZ]

Yes, they did receive a gild. It's still visible on the hardware.

They were stored poorly and the gold wash has faded away. Do the badges, and yourself, a favor and treat them with Vaseline to stop the zinc rot from growing and eating away on the badges.

Two very nice original pieces!
