Hi Don ... the three Silver's that you show above are the only variations of the 30 as far as I know ...

[don]

You are right.However in the flat pins there are a couple of types.

Darrell I know I just posted mine down the road but wanted to add

them here also

[Guest Darrell]

A good indicator of authentic Tombak or Copper made 30's is the "swirl" pattern that you see on the reverse. Look like rings in a tree.
