| These pins are die-struck from a copper bronze base. A die is designed to imprint a particular design onto the metal. The pin outline and any cut-outs are then cut using another mold. Colors are hand crafted with a glass-like powdered mixture. The colors are fired one at a time, at a temperature of 1,600 F for around two to four minutes. This two step process ensures that a bleeding of the colors is avoided. Next, the pins are individually polished by hand and plated with gold or silver. Lastly each pin is inspected to ***ermine quality and is individually packaged. |
