This is the first time I have really looked at it and I am starting to wonder about the color in it? Could it be........

......that the badge on your photos is a gold one (or you wished it )
OR
......that the badge on my photos is a silver one?



Just kidding, you clearly see the use of a flashlight but I'm quite sure that I was holding a gold wb this morning. I do admit that the wash was very light in color, but the photo in post #1 is nearly the same like the real thing.


Finally, the tip of the catch is a bit different when comparing the badges. I don't think this is bad point, I think I found a good one ....


Cheers,
Laurens

Yes it looks like you got a nice one, and yes I wonder if mine might be a washed out gold. I started another thread to see what the experts have to say on mine. If it is agold one thta's a bonus, if it isn't thats OK too, but my curiosity is now aroused on it

[Laurens Q-fin]

When finishing my last reply, I noticed your new thread. I will for sure keep an eye on both now, I'm very curious on the outcome....

hello friends,

From my point of view I think that the badge it´s a silver wound badge.

Why?, because the yellow color it´s the age of the silver.

Here some picture of mine.

I assume you are referring to the badge from Laurence and not the one I posted?

Ok i don't know if my photo editing will work. However I see some major differences between your and mine It did not 2 diffwerent type of photo's. If you could post it again as a >pdf or >jpg I could do it

However if you look at mine, In the recesses, you will see that the color is deeper than in the higher pointsBut there is different levels of color through out which would be consistent with a wash or gilting wearing off the same with the back, why would there be such a odd looking patch just above the hinge, that looks more like a wear pattern than a patina or oxidization.
Don't get me wrong I still have this one listed as a silver badge till I am absolutly positive it's a GWB

Laurens I am sorry to hijack your thread. If people want to discous my badge, I have started a thread called "Could this be a worn out gold WB". I would appreciate it if you bring your thoughts there on my badge, I only posted mine here to show Laurens the similarities to his badge and thats when I noticed the colour after scanning it!

Hi Maximilliano

Ok here's my hinge area. I have a hard time saying that this is a patina or oxidization, the shape is more like a wear spot,

[Maximiliano]

yes, like my badge.

So, gold or silver= the badges are very nice
