Now when I see a badge I won't know if it's an original or made by one of you guys. I can't believe the quality you are getting.
I don't need any badges but I'm trying to think of something else you can make for me with your etching. Keep up the good work! Gary

Totally Awesome. I've been trying some etching recently, and I have to admit, my results don't even come close...but I'm determined. Any specifics you'd like to share would be great...I promise under pain of death to keep your secrets

I'm guessing "C"...I'll PM you on what I'm doing and how I'm doing it...Thanks Ax!

"C" for me also just because of the brass color. Nice work you have a a plotter/cutter for the masks?

[cman]

C as it has a dent. Very nice work.

i will also say C , and they look good !

Nice Job

Thanks everybody and yes the original is C. I was going to fix that dent but I figured it gave the badge a battle scar. You would think that the color of the brass is different but its not. What makes it look different in color is the red paint that was used to paint the headbadge. When I cleaned it up I notice that it still had the original red paint under that black coat of dirt and the red paint kind of stuck to the brass.

Funny, I went with e of tuse of the holes. They look machined whereas the others look punched...I did notice the color, but it wasn't the deciding factor...been etching today myself....
