Hi folks.
Recently turned up this button, which I believe is a "Tombac" button. I know they are quite a frequant find, but my question is, does the term Tombac refer to the type of metal, or method of manufacture ( one piece )
Thanks in advance
Artkat

2 new photo's showing colour better.
Origional photos made button look green.
Cheers
