WCW World Television Championship belt

Description

Belt Identification
Name: WCW World Television Championship
Design Era: Late “Silver/Gold” and “Logo” Era (associated with legends like Booker T, Lord Steven Regal, and Arn Anderson).
Technical Description (Material Specifications)
You mentioned two specific material thicknesses. In the world of replica belt making, these measurements create very different results:
Option 1: 2mm Brass (Traditional)
Weight: Lighter and more flexible.
Detailing: 2mm brass is usually etched. It provides a classic “old-school” look, but the “Champion” and “World Television” banners won’t have the deep 3D pop seen on modern high-end replicas.
Finish: Brass takes gold plating very naturally, giving it a warm, authentic luster.
Option 2: 4mm Zinc (Ultra-Premium)
Weight: Significantly heavier; this is the “heavyweight” standard for high-quality replicas.
Detailing: 4mm zinc allows for deep CNC engraving. This creates sharp, crisp edges on the floral scrollwork and makes the center globe stand out prominently.
Durability: Zinc is more rigid than brass, meaning the plates will not bend easily over time.
Visual Features
Main Plate: Features a prominent blue-painted globe in the center, symbolizing the “World” reach of the television broadcast.
Banners: Bold black enamel bars with “WORLD TELEVISION” at the top and “CHAMPION” at the bottom.
Logo: The red “WCW” logo sits at the very top (the “sunburst” style).
Side Plates: Gold-plated plates featuring wrestlers in grappling poses, consistent with the classic NWA/WCW aesthetic.
Leather: Typically mounted on a black strap with a “shell” tooling pattern along the edges.
