Description
Zinc based badge, and is absolutely gorgeous with 100% of the original factory applied bronze brennlack finish still intact. Light golden highlights in the finish contrast nicely with darker bronze tones in the recesses. On top of the finish, is a very thin layer of the original factory lacquer. This is an unissued badge, with no traces of wear, and all of the original detail is intact. The rear is marked below the hinge with the stylized initials “JFS” within a rectangular border, indicating manufacture by the firm of Josef Feix & Söhne in Gablonz. The hardware setup features a correct crimped ball hinge and rectangular base catch, typical for this maker. No damage or repairs on this textbook, minty example!
