Being a fake badge aside, it happens time after time that corroded or oddly patinated badges are presented here on the forum mistakenly for bronze or something else. I can understand this if a collector is not familiar with proper bronzed badges, but there are some rather obvious clues.
Die struck or stamped OR pattern badges that appear this way should always be viewed with suspicion. Genuine bronzed badges will not show corrosion in the manner of the subject badge either.
