If it is black surface and it is not a laser brass it will turn out dull. Some Novis #2 can be used to polish it to bright, but be sure to wax it afterward or it will tarnish a little faster than if burnished for some reason.

It's royal blue with brass "engraving" It really looks lasered but I just don't know. Just don't know if I have the guts to stick it in there to see what happens.....

Use a magnifying glass to see if the original has any "scratch or machine looking marks". You can usually tell right away and not ruin the piece by experimenting.

They have just stopped making laser royal blue brass. I have a large client that used it, had to switch to laser steel.

The plaques are for Sertoma. They are purchased through the Sertoma website. They are mass produced and engraved either through the Sertoma website or by the purchaser. I did send an email to see if I could get any info from them.

Probably in this case, better safe than sorry.
Thanks all
Becky
