How to identify badges is the concern of most badge collectors. Everyone is afraid that collecting fake badges will lead to unnecessary losses.

    In recent years, the value of badge collection has become more and more prominent, especially this kind of badge and commemorative badge made of metal materials has become the mainstream of badge production. However, with the rise of this trend of badge collection, the miscellaneous badge collection market began to mix, and the fake badges became more and more fierce, especially those rare badges which were imitated by advanced technology reached the point where it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

    So what methods should we use to identify? We can try the three methods that Xiaobian will list soon!

1、 Understand the origin of the badge

    The production and distribution of early badges were based on certain historical events. Except for a few hand-made badges, most of the machine-made badges were produced by assembly line. The process flow was roughly as follows: Drawing - carving - pressing - coloring - grinding - polishing - welding accessories - electroplating - quality inspection - finished products - packaging.

    What we need to pay attention to is the badges from different periods, and their craft structure is also different.

2、 Observe the surface color of the badge

    By observing the natural coating, enamel coating, paint baking effect, background pattern, text and electroplating luster on the surface of the badge, it can be judged that the genuine Enamel Badge has good color, bright paint, excellent adhesion, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.

    The fake badge is painted with paint, which can be cured naturally and quickly. The paint surface has lamination marks. The color gloss is poor and too bright. The paint film is easy to shell and layer after a long time.

    Of course, the depth, shade and thickness of the electroplated layer on the surface of the badge are also important basis for distinguishing the authenticity of the badge.

3、 Identify the material and density of the badge

    The most important process of making badges is stamping. The larger the tonnage of the stamping machine, the higher the density of the badges, and the higher the smoothness and smoothness of the front and back sides of the badges; The fake badge was punched out with a punch, with sharp edges and no oxidation.
