    Gold Wound Badge 100

    From the research on this forum this looks to be an original but I'm hesitant, can you help me with what you think of it please?

    Thanks,

    Jeff

    Don´t throw away your fake WB´s! Get in touch with me.
    I collect them for reference purposes for the benefit of the hobby (for the right "fake" price of course).

            Is it gold? It looks like a patinaed silver on my screen.

            Evaluate the item, not the story and not the seller's reputation!

            If you PM/contact me without the courtesy of using your first name, please don't be offended if I politely ignore you!

                We might have a point here, I usually expect more gold on the needle...

                  Some W&L GWB`s are known to have a silver "primerish" layer and then the gold finish on top. If they were intended to be silver and the factory "refinished" in to gold i don´t know, might as well be a test to see if the mix might be a better way to keep the finish intact with time as zinc tends to loose it´s finish

                      Hello all,

                      An original Wachter & Lange product for sure, but I can't comment on being a gold or a silver badge.

                        the seller said that it was cleaned and that is why it's so shiny

                          I purchased it so when it arrives I'll take pictures and post them.

                          Thank you all for your help.
