That badge on ebay is not what you want. That seller has mostly fakes and it is not the correct one anyway.
If you are looking for an officer service dress cap badge, this is an example what you are looking for. The information you have of "brass" badges is incorrect. I believe there was a 1916 economy issue in gilding metal, but that is a different story.
The shade of OSD bronze badges ranges from a light milk chocolate brown to nearly black. Again, in most cases, it is impossible to date them.
