    Good point! Good idea….It appears to be brass? It is gold-ish on the reverse, not aluminum, tho i’ve felt them much heavier, like they were steel Thanks for stopping by 🖖🏼

    Not too bad… slight flattening to the badge… tried bending but i got nervous…. Maybe gentle torquing, in situ, w/ a cloth wrap?

    Small “restore” on the headbadge… this lessens the shame of another life of your ol Uncle Ookie…. Now which screws are the right pitch and more importantly… rust These two look good!

    Yeah! This is what i hoped… thanks!!! On a historical note… I “followed” George Clinton at a gig once…. Evil Olive… i was basically in, what looks like to me now, like a “Sexual Chocolate” cover band…. Also very klunky….. So the connection is apt and i much appreciate you
