Here's an interesting one. Marked with both L/16 and 4(on the pin). I wonder if there's a version where the duel markings are reversed? Or just an L/16 on the pin?

It does look like L/10. Good additions. The 30 appears to be a brass/tombac base.

My 93 marked BWB.
Obverse, scanner washes out some detail but you can get an idea what it looks like.

Very nice WB´s guys!

Raymond the unmarked BWB with the ballhinge is a 93 and the "L/10" is infact a partial L/18.
The L/10´s have a different design.
I really love the doublemarked 4-L/16!


Regards
Hans N

Well conditioned. Is it a tombac base metal?

Hi --dj--Joe. I'm still pretty new to badge collecting..how can you tell if it's tombac base metal? Are there a few things that I can look for to identify it? In the meantime I'll look on the internet for a descrition as well.
Thanks,
Ed

Ed, tombac is a brass based alloy with copper and zinc content.
Depending on how much copper you may see a brassy to a reddish brass looking base metal peeking through the paint.
It will not attract a magnet.
A zinc alloy badge will not attract a magnet either. But will appear as grey metal.
Steel badges of course are magnetic.

The pin on your wound badge is either tombac or plated steel.

--dj--Joe, Thank you for the information. It is very useful information. I don't have access to the badge at the moment because I'm out of the country until the end of November. When I get back home I will examine the badge carefully and do a magnet test. I'll post my findings then. Sorry that it will take so long.

Thanks again for the great information.
Ed

--dj-Joe, I looked at the photo of the badge and on the back side on the left side toward the bottom...the paint is worn off the edge/rim. It appears to be a yellow or brass color like the pin. The magnet test will most likely help with the answer.

I would think 58 is Artur Jäkel & Co., Gablonz.

Looks original to me.
