Chris,
Point well taken about the patina, scans can be misleading. What I am looking for is sudden changes of color, and your badges appear to have black spots on otherwise clean silver.
High-end fantasy pieces are the worst, because it is so tempting to believe that you have found something noone had ever noticed before.
The bottom line is that you, as the owner of the badges, are in a better position to judge, so if you think they are OK, they must be.
Still skeptical :),
Alexei
