Hello Paul,

I can't comment on the VTC side of things, I'm afraid, but the 'swan neck' badge I posted is definitely bi-metal under the bronzing (& I'd say the colour was bronze rather than black, at least now - whether it started out like that, who knows?).

I bought another Lincolns badge a short while ago that also shows signs of having been re-coloured (again a brown/bronze sort of shade, although it's worn off a bit more than the first one), as per the attachment.
