I was wondering what the blue enamel indicates on the Brunswick Star. I have seen mostly the solid brass but occasionally encounter the enamel version.

Hi Daniel,
If you are talking about the ones on eBay, the majority of them are something someone has made. The REAL ones with the blue are Officer's Brunswicks but the blue is behind the brass lettering and they strip down into the Star, the lettering and a blue enamel ring. If they don't stip down, they are not genuine
