DRL Sports Badge Bronze or Gold?

[Wunhur]

Hi fellow members,

Know little about these badges myself, do you think this is a bronze or goldie? My camera can't seem to capture the exact tone due to the lighting.The bronze/gold finish looks very much like the one on Hank's minesweeper badge.

Reverse.

I think that's a bronze one.

I agree with George it looks like a bronze grade DRL to me also.

I know it is hard to capture the golg tone. Here is mine. I know it is gold because I have the whole set and when it is next to the others you can really tell.

The set.

Wunhur, I beleive your badge to be a bronze. Note the areas I have highlighted on your wreath. See the darker shading? That applied finish is not on the Gold DRL.

Gold. Notice the lack of an applied patina in the recesses.

Thanks guys for the input,

At least I know it is a bronze one now. By the way what is the badge on the far left of your DRL set? Beautiful family you got there

Yes, the gold ones are really gold.
