    HIGH SEAS FLEET - authentic??

    Hi all: (I posted a similar thread in the wrong area- here it is again)
    Here is a High Seas Fleet badge that I recently acquired. Sorry for the 'unnatural' lighting. The wreath is actually a beautiful gilt color while
    the ship is grey. It has the maker mark 'f.o.' on the reverse. The pin catch
    is broken. Opinions as to authenticity and value please.
    -Ernst

        Hi Ernst,

        From the pics, this one looks more like a cast copy from a shiny coloured basemetal rather than from zinc. Lots of strange scratching and small dings, poor obverse detail and what looks loke a post-war pin purther point to a probably repro.

        Regards
        Mike

        Evaluate the item, not the story and not the seller's reputation!

        If you PM/contact me without the courtesy of using your first name, please don't be offended if I politely ignore you!
