Costal Artillery Zn Sherwin Vaulted

Hi Your opinions please I have never seen one vaulted like this one. I looks like it was hand vaulted, metal is not soft can't bend by hand. Your comments appreciated
thanks

Best regards! Tom

Hello Rick,
I like it! Nice bubbling and peeling of the finish on the reverse. The vaulting is quite unusual for a zinc badge like this.
Best regards! Tom

No problem, original zinc CA badge by Schwerin. John

Hi,

I can only agree, a genuine Schwerin zincer.

Imo the vaulting has been done "by hand" as these were produced flat. They've achieved an amazingly high degree of vault without busting off the hinge or catch!

Regards

And they didn't leave any tool marks either.....
