I'd expect to see this in zink.
Some like this one, others do not.

Hi Brian
Hmmm.................THAT is a very interesting example
. I can see why some might be on the fence, but at the same time I feel my gut liking the piece. The wear and finish look good, not sure I care for the pin though especially that rust given the overall appearence of the rest of the badge. The finish on the swords is showing up darker than I presume it to be is that correct ??
Your saying the badge isn't zinc, is that correct ? or it is zinc and this is what you expect It looks zinc to me....? I'll wait to hear from you.

The pin is steel the badge is zinc. Personally, I like it too. As we know, zinc doesn't rust... Steel does...Comment

Hi Brian
What I was suggesting is the pin has obviously been exposed to moisture of some kind and as a result has built up quite a bit of rust. I would just expect to see more deteriation to the brenlax finish. After all that pin has quite a bit of rust on it.
Back to the badge itself..........as I said I like it (at least my gut does) and would have a hard time saying the badge is a repop. The hinge and catch set-up as well as the character of the base metal and the fiinsh itself read right.
I would like to see some clearer/lightier pics of the swords...........if you feel like posting them.

Hi Guys, this has the classic Souval catch.

Wow, that was quick
Yeah , I see no issues with the badge..............again though, I can see where it may raise some questions, but in the end I think the badge stands on it's own.
Best,
Joe
PS Thanks for the additional pics
