Blockade runner

[Granit]

Hello, colleagues!
What do you think about Blockade Runner badge? Is it original or fake?

What about repair of retaining hook in this badge?
I rather think so, that too much dye on the eagle. It looks like very off-handedly. Or I was wrong?

Is it tombak or zinc badges?

Looks like an untouched, original, tombac badge to me! Very nice!

I agree, a very nice original tombak "dishback" Schwerin Blockade Breaker with excellent finish. Nothing wrong with the catch, just some sloppy soldering (not unusual at all).

Regards
Mike

A fine looking original tombak "dishback".

Nice badge.

Regards,Martin.

Totally agree. An excellent example with beautiful serrations along the edges from the manufacturing process, one of my favorite details to see on these.

Very nice original badge
Still looking for a similar example, burned my hands on a 'cave creek special' a while ago

Super piece, i really like these

Very nice badge Might be from the later tombak production and hence the zincer-like hardware was used here.
Cheers,

Very Nice original Schwerin BB. Great condition with the appearance of being Freshly Minted.
