FrontlineAntiques Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Hey Chaps Just been offered this piece - but i have a bad feeling about it. The price is good, but I have a bad feeling. These are the only photos the seller can provide. I particularly dislike the darker corners of the cross where it appears that a silver paint has flaked away. The seller says the ring is marked 100 but I cant see it.... Am i being over sceptical or are my worries justified? Have a great weekend Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny70 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Hi Dan, There's nothing wrong with that one except a little wear. It's a typical Wächtler & Lange cross. These usually retain their exceptional finish quite well, but there are some areas where the rhodium plating has flaked away (the 'black' looking areas). If the price is good, I would have no hesitation in adding it to my collection. Regards - Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrontlineAntiques Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 Cheers Danny. That's put my mind at rest! Will make an offer in the morning and hope the missus doesn't find out! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
