This is a handmade product. While it is not metal-plated and does not have the texture of metal, it is made with a mold using a metallic gold color. As it is not a machine-made product, there may be slight imperfections or unevenness. The plating on the Samurai Edge grip medallion tends to peel easily, but this one is molded in gold, so the gold part will not peel. The thickness is about 1.7mm around the edges and is slightly domed. This is intended for use as a substitute if you have lost your medallion. Please fix it in place with adhesive.
