Hi UncleFred,

Thank you for you comments. I am sorry form my late reply, been a tad busy.

A couple of fine original badges you have there. What you see on the reverse of the gold 1939 is rust coming through the finish. These are magnetic & therfore ferric based. It is very common to see this on these.

Thank you for posting them
