SovPha Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) Just wanted to share this beautiful unresearched ORS # 483587 (1st half of 1944). The enamel is in perfect condition and the screw is made of silver. Research is in progress. Ill let you all know once I have more information on this ORS.

BalkanCollector Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Beautiful piece! How do you determine if the screwplate is made from silver? I've tried the "sound test" with some of the silver pieces from my collection but I guess my ear is not trained enough to know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound (flip the coin) and one chemical which can be used on the surface. 17 minutes ago, nickstrenk said: A nice example of the reverse Shagrens skin-Шагренова кожа.The screwplate is from silver.It is seen from the first sight. It got this blueish/greenish color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also the patina can help identify. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
