Thanks, Greg!

I think it still has a really nice look for a zinc badge. The deeply-scored hinge is interesting. I don't recall seeing that on a Berg & Nolte before.

Best regards,
Tom

These all look great. Some companies had the zink badge done right.

I like these badge, I had some of these, the scratches on the top reverse of the eagle are typical

Hi Tom,

Nice B&NL Para. I have the same reaction as you with the B&NL badge, they really have a nicely detailed and crisp wreath. They also tend to hold their nice dark finish, making them really nice-looking badges.

Here are a few more B&NL's with the scored hinge. I have seen several of these these scored hinges, usually depends on the lighting how well you can see them.
