Assmann P/O badge

[Lubo]

Hello, the hinge pin in most cases is made of a softer metal, I would say brass or what the germans call "messing", and it is NEVER gold finished (as the badge should be assembled after the finish is already applied), it should retain its natural brass color.

Ooops, I am a second late!

I agree with Mike on the rivet issue. I never thought a typical Assman rivet could end up looking like the rivet pictured in post #3 by just "tightening" and I am sure these rivets have been replaced.

Hi guys,

David, I would try to scan your badge in if you can. Photos are really sensitive to lightining and the color of finishes can look different in different lightings.

Scanning will capture the true color of the gold and then I think we can compare it to Jody's, which is also a scan. Correct me if I am wrong here Jody. This way we can compare apples to apples with the color of Jody's badge and the color of David's badge.

Hi Tom,
Yes, my badge pictures are scans.
