Hello,
This is my first post here. Please bare with me if I don't get it right the first time.
I have come across a High Seas Fleet Badge that appears to have been entirely gilted. There is some wear on the high points that show the underlying grayish metal. I am questioning the authenticity since all my references state that only the wreath & eagle were gilt.
The badge is nicely convex with a needle type pin & 'C' catch and with the maker's mark of R.S.&S.
Is there a possibility that this badge is authentic? I would appreciate your input.
Sorry, I do not have scans of this badge at this time.
Thanks,
Archie
