You have messed about with the image to make it look bronze… look I can send it purple, magic purple metal.

I would suggest manipulating tones, vibrancy of a picture can turn it to whatever you desire. The furthest I go with such alterations is to turn brightness up/down.

The last pair of pics have brightness booted to maximum on an iPhone no hint of your bronze. In fact it looks WM on the scratched points and rubbed nose tip.

Verdigris is found on many WM badges, poorer quality ones where presumably the copper content is higher. It may be verdigris, it may be polish.

Notwithstanding neither old polish nor verdigris has ever had a bearing on authenticity unless you subscribe to the views of that peculiar chap on YouTube.
