what concerns me is the scratch marks on the front. if a bronze and it had been wire wooled or fine sandpaper then it would give the gold effect. the rubbing has reduced detail as seen which is another indicater. can you take a pic in normal day light pleaseComment

Hm.. dident think aboutht that. Try to get some decent pictures this weekend.
Added : I have looked in to the pin. in my microscope.There is (as seen on pic) fine lines,scratches all over the raised srufaces on the front. Non in the deeper areas. I think you are right and that it might have been polished with stealwool. There is an big difference in the shine it self on glossyer obverse from the moore mat reverse. The collor difference also.The pin it self shows no lines or do the reverse side.I belive the reverse side shows the original colloration of the pin,what ever it was, but looks moore "broncy" to me. Adding an pic in ( verry cloudy,darke) daylight.Last edited by Mickesouth; 12-01-2006, 06:26 AM.Comment
