Hi all,
I've just been very kindly donated an Epson 3490 PHOTO by my father in law which I am very impressed with. I've been looking into the Epson scanners for a while and this freebie came with open arms!
That aside, my first practice scan piece by chance was my (always believed to be) Silver S&L WB. I say 'believed to be' because it is predominantly silver and was bought as such, but has always had a golden hue around the bottom edge. I put this down to a Silver award made from tombak that has worn the coating away on the uniform showing through the bronze hue of the base metal.
But now under my lovely new scanner it looks like a zinc based award with the remnets of an originally gold coating?
What are your opinions?
