avsaribar Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) Dear Mr.Demir , Thank you very much for expanding the list of this deficient sellers new items. For our new collector friends , i just wish to mention here again that ; 1 - For both of them , the TWM and The Atik Crete Medal , please observe the blisters which caused by the cast technique , but an original medal was made with a press technique without that kind of bubles and blisters. Mostly they occured because of the gases , air and clash of the mine / metal when it saw the heat to melt. *** But please try not to mix this cast problems, with the natural traces , scratches and gutters which may accure on an original one due to the time wear. 2 - Please observe for both of them , the brownish patina which is caused when trying to gave the fake old looking patina with some chemicals. All the Best , Avsar IBAR Edited September 1, 2010 by avsaribar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demir Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Dear Avsar, Thanks for the very professional explanation. Will you please also explain to our friends the signs of casting on the Mecidi mentioned in your thread, like the dull patina of the Mecidi which is supposed to shine like diamond intalled etc. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
