Well if it´s silver then why the blue-ish reverse and the area around the swastika?

Here is a Imperial that i have by the same maker as this Type 1 WB that started this topic. Still silver?

[Hans N]

Reverse as well.
Or are these to be regarded as somekind of subdued silver type?

Looks like a brass badge silver plated and then oxidised
to be a black one.

Hello Thomas,

If you look in old sales catalogues you might see that
You could order schwarz and “schwarz oxidiert”
The Schwarz was just painted and the schwarz oxidiert was
oxidised blue/black and was more exclusive and more expensive.

Cheers,
