If the latter, should they be called "1916 all gilding metal economy issues"
Or am I totally off the wall on this one and have an early night ?
STM.
I would think that brass with its higher zinc content would be softer than gilding metal,and therefore easier to use.
Are there any gilding metal economy badges out there?
