another query for a badge I m selling is it zinc or tombak ? and I thought it was a"maybaur"

[Thomas Durante]

Hi Terry,

"A" stands for Assmann

Its a zink badge, easy to tell by the type of reverse hardware it uses. The eagle may be Nickel Silver, hard to be sure from these pics, but the wreath is definitely zink.

Terry, look at the eagle to see it you can see any underlying color to help determine the material used on it.
Nice piece

Hi Terry,

That is a very nice Assmann Observer Badge. It's in really nice condition for a zincer.

Best regards,
Tom
