I think they could be silver base metal, I never really though about it. I have included a scan of the reverse of one. Also I have included a scan of the slip on they came on. |
Pylon1357,
One of the sets I have is similar to yours - whereas yours have green laurels on white, the ones I have are green on gilt - they have same red enamel background to the motto.
