Purchased this for use in an Old West Steampunk cosplay, as well as for some potential CAS matches at some point down the line. The badge is excellent quality, with a nice-looking patina-ed finish and a solid feel. Not flimsy in any way. True, the pin is large and may have an adverse affect on some fabrics, BUT that comes with the territory. The back of the badge did have a dry, sooty black residue on it that I simply wiped away, but be sure to clean it before putting it on anything white! Overall, excellent product and well up to my expectations.
