    DRL Badge Wernstein Jena Advice Please?

    Hi All,
    I have recently aquired a DRL badge by the above maker and am seeking opinions about it. I am not sure whether this badge has started life as a silver or bronze version. Did this maker produce any badges that had a washed bronze finish? This badge has a brass catch/hinge/pin assembly but the remainder of the badge has a dulled silver grey appearance. The badge measures 47.5mm x 38.5mm approx. but weighs lighter than normal - around 14gms by my scales. The base metal is not magnetic. Opinions please?
    Thanks in advance!

        I believe these where produced in the mid 40’s when they were using cheaper zinc like materials for their badges. I have two like this one is for the war wounded bronze washed wreath with silver washed monogram and one like yours.

          Thanks James!

          Would you assume by the reverse it is definitely a bronze version?
