Woodward made economies appear in a more yellowish metal rather than GM, one such example is the Inniskilling Fusiliers economy badge these are widely regarded as good by collectors and sold as the genuine article by the most respected dealers like Lew. I would tend to agree that most genuine brass economy badges should be in what appears to be the richer tone GM but I believe Woodward made economies (genuine ones that is, as they have been faked) are an exception as they must have sourced their metal from a different supplier IMO.
