Chuck In Oregon Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 That last group was so well received that I'm inspired to post one more. I think this Glory-2 group, damaged Red Star and all, has a lot of character.Now for some basketball. Go Zags!Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I Have a question.. the gilding looks very odd to me on the 2. klasse?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerd Becker Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I Have a question.. the gilding looks very odd to me on the 2. klasse??To me too. It looks, like the Owner may have replated the center of the Glory 2nd class. The wear of the gilt doesn?t fit to the patina of the rest IMO.

Chuck In Oregon Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 I Have a question.. the gilding looks very odd to me on the 2. klasse??* * * * *Here is (if I'm lucky) a close-up of the center of the Glory-2. You're right, it is in lovely condition. The question is, I suppose, is it too good to be true?The patina is typical, in my limited experience, of silver that has been cleaned, then re-oxidizes, suffering occasional handling along the way. Silverware gets the same look. The silver itself is in exceptional condition. The center portion is consistent with the condition of the rest of the metal, patina notwithstanding. Sometimes you can look "through" plating and detect surface defects that give the re-plating away, not unlike, say, a re-blued gun. Or you can detect where the re-plating has filled in some details. I see none of either on this example.I leave it to you to judge for yourselves.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that most of us will never find a better Glory-2 than this one. OK, yeah, except for the ribbons. They're replacements, but they're what came with the group. I buy 'em and I pass 'em along. I don't clean them up (except for the rare use of a dry toothbrush to knock off some dirt) and I don't replace ribbons and so forth and I don't separate groups. This is my hobby and those things are what spoil it.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
