    1. Acquired at auction.Does it appear original? Thanks for looking.
    2. Appreciate your responses. I've handled several of these.Even come across two with the same serial number.Pity,because ,at least to my eyes,they're attractive.

    10. Picked up at auction.Appears mint,but is it original? Thanks for looking. Steve
    11. Do you think this is an original badge?Is that white stuff on the reverse the dreaded zinc pest.? Thanks for looking.
    12. Shot of bottom of base without the cloth.Can't remove at this time because one screw is frozen and stripped.Is there likely to be anything helpful under there? Several at WAF thought it was a repo-bad cast,should be hollow,replacement base. Been studying the threads-a lot of different birds out there and a lot of expertise. I just wonder what I have. Thanks for helping. Steve
    13. I know this one is heavily faked,but I think this particular one is real.What do you think? Thanks for looking,Steve
    14. Here it is without the Vasoline.As Pete correctly points out,it is zinc.Re: fakes-In my travels,I was surprised to find many low-priced items faked,crudely,but why bother???I do think this one is good. Best regards,Steve
    15. Called a " common fake".Said to be "obvious ".Not to me.Perhaps I'm too obtuse.Anyway,I'd appreciate it if somebody could walk me through it,perhaps with a side-by-side comparison with an original. Thankful for any help. Steve
    16. Jock I'm really not sure.It comes from a reputable source. The "finish" on the obverse is from a touch of Vasoline.I was treating some of my zincers and got carried away. Regards,Steve
    17. Several more photos. Dimensions : 15 cm x 19cm with base 15.5 Kg Unmarked Any chance this is a good one? Thanks for looking Steve
