White metal
Hi all, does anyone know what the name is of the sheet material that white metal badges are stamped out of. It going to had nickel in it , but what’s the proper name. I guess it’s easy to buy, as there’s a lot of white metal reproduction badges.
Thanks andrew

White metal
I believe it has been described as "German Silver" also as nickel.

German Silver was increasingly called White Metal from around 1906 and the two terms were interchangeable for a while. It was defined as 64.5% Copper, 16.5% Zinc and 19.0% Nickel – TNA / RACD Pattern 4481/1897, WO 359/6,336
