Higher quality private purchase example. Die struck hollow Tombak construction badge with a black paint wash. This example is the desirable "cut out" which means this manufacturer produced the badge without the normally seen pebbled background behind the helmet and crossed swords. The reverse of the badge is a mirror image of the obverse. Reverse of the badge is complete with its original hinge and pin & catch assembly. The badge is in very good condition with minor signs of age and use.
Desirable cut out version made of Tombak!!
