    Fake or not


    Recommended Posts

    Hi,

    From the single pic provided so far, I also do not like what I see. This one looks very shiny - too shiny. It looks more ?gold plated that gilt finished. It does not have the colour/effect of tombak or fire-gilt. Even the early 57ers were still fire-gilded. Withough examining it, I'm thinking a good electro-plated casting.

    Regards

    Mike

    Hi gentlemen, had a closer look at this, I assume the genuine article this was produced as a die stamping, looking at the edges, it appears to be in two halves with a seam similar to an EK1, silvery base metal, :mad: I concur therefore that it unfortunately a lemon,

    perhaps you could confirm, before I consign it to the land of trash

    regards

    Edit or MAYBE i've discovered a very rare silver gilt version!! :rolleyes:
