I am under the impression that those things faded as they aged, turning them to what appears to be a gold color. Joe, I have heard of that theory too but I don't know, it would seem to be odd to me that a badge would fade to gold from silver & black. The silver also looks like part of the stock the badge is made from as it is embossed then printed black. Now the gold ones are just embossed gold stock. As indicated I have both and they are both old and appear to be original. Not sure it the different numbers on the back mean anything. Enquiring minds want to know, Darrell
