With the increase of people’s interest in badge collection, fake badges are also showing an increasingly strong trend in the badge collection market, especially the use of advanced technology to imitate rare badges, such as some precious metal badges are fake and difficult to distinguish True or false, so how should we identify the authenticity of the badge?
In order to better identify the method of badge identification, we must first understand fake badges. Fake badges include two categories: imitation products (that is, fake badges based on real badges) and fake badges (fake badges that are created out of nothing and imagined out of thin air). Among them, imitations are the most common. To identify the authenticity of badges, we can learn to judge from the three methods of seeing, asking, and cutting, so that fake badges are easier to “reveal”.
One is to watch. Observe the badge to see the natural patina, enamel coating, baking varnish effect, electroplating gloss, background pattern, text features, etc. on the surface of the badge.
The enamel of the real badge is positive in color, bright in paint, good in adhesion, high temperature resistant and corrosion resistant. Fake badges are generally made of paint, which is naturally dried and cured. There are layers of traces on the paint surface, the color is too bright, and the paint film is easy to peel off for a long time. The depth, light and shade, and thickness of the electroplating layer on the surface of the badge are also an important basis for distinguishing the authenticity of the badge.
The second is to ask. Learn about the ins and outs of badges, historical background, design shapes, aesthetic principles, craft methods, production techniques, etc. In order to better identify the authenticity of the badge, we must first understand some knowledge about the badge. For example, specially customized limited edition badges, especially the early production and distribution, are based on certain historical events and have their own stories. Except for handmade badges, the main production process of mechanism badges is mainly: drawing, engraving , Stamping, Coloring, Grinding, Polishing, Welding Fittings, Electroplating, Quality Inspection, Finished Product Packaging.
Although the types of badges are very different, their crafting methods are similar. The more you know about the badges, the more you can recognize the authenticity of the badges.
The last is cut. Identification from the material and density of badges, the most important process of making badges is stamping steel billets, the greater the tonnage of the stamping machine, the higher the density of the badge, the higher the smoothness of the front and rear sides of the badge, and only need to be careful and supplemented by a certain amount of time when identifying Badge identification knowledge, you can identify it.
In a word, collecting badges has become a fashion, and has set off a wave of collecting craze all over the world. If you want to customize unique badges, you can contact a professional badge manufacturer like Deer Gifts, who can provide you with the best service.
