Each pin set is packaged in a faux black leather, cut-corner, pendant box adorning a gold BSG emblem embossed in the background. They are ready for immediate display, adorning your BSG Uniform, OR completing your screen used collection.

Here is some other interesting facts about the pins:

Manufacturing:

  • Produced in Canada.
  • Using the same shop, original tooling and artwork as used in the BSG series.
  • Die struck of solid Brass (not a casting).
  • The center of the Chest Badge is a “Lost Wax Investment Casting”.   The same process used to cast high end jewelry.

The Finishing:

  • Every piece is individually hand polished.
  • Silver surfaces are nickle plated.
  • Gold surfaces are 24K gold plated.
  • Color fill is hand-placed color used to fill recessed areas stamped in the the surface of each pin (NOT a thin layer of paint).

For more details and descriptive write up on the piece, please take a look at the newest article from:
