usmcski Posted August 12, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 12, 2020 A tale of two Luke's. As part of my EGA collection, I am the proud owner of two KG Luke emblems. The first one is trenched, and displays K.G. LUKE MELBOURNE prominently on the reverse. It has a darkened bronze patina and is complete in all respects: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmcski Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted August 12, 2020 The second one, however, is a bit confusing. The physical construction looks the same, but it is of a pinkish-bronze metal. Additionally, it is marked KG LUKE MELB. Can anyone enlighten me as to why the materials used and markings are different? Thanks in advance!

Reforger Posted August 12, 2020 Share #3 Posted August 12, 2020 There could be differences in the material composition due to metal availability, price, etc. It could also be that the metal is the same and it is just has a different finish or was polished differently. Concerning the hallmark, sometimes they just change. Look at Meyer NY hallmarks and you will see many variations. Both are nice EGA badges.
