Hi Erich

Both Ok and that Fo has a wonderfull obverse finish, not easy to find in that condition.

It's a bit strange that the obverse lost all its finish but with a little nail polish remover it should be easy to test the authenticity of the finish

Que? Whats the nail polish remover test?

[ErichK]

Many thanks! Being an ex navy man I know I should have stayed with KM!
Regards,
Erich

I will try the nail polish remover test. Acetone is the same as nail polish remover w/o the nice smell.

Both nice originals.
The FO is almost certainly repainted. FOs should be gold on the reverse as well (you see the ret around hinge/hook). People don******180;t paint the backs usually as you can see the brush strokes to easily.
