Title: Re: MELONHEAD first GEORGE SILVER Post by: Kev on October 21, 2009, 05:11:27 PM as MARK (melonhead) won the day last sunday ,here are my finds not much but can you tell me if the one is a metal part of a riding boot ????? ??? and the star type thing is a spur ??? ??? ;) also on here part of a buckle ;)
Title: Re: MELONHEAD first GEORGE SILVER Post by: Neil on October 21, 2009, 08:17:55 PM Thats definately a broken spur Kev - its not modern either.
I found one with a deep green patina once and showed it to a few guys at a SCAN meeting who were all sure it had an age to it. Took it with James (off DW) to show Mark he looked at and said "It was made in England!" I said "How do you know that?" He replied because "It says MADE IN ENGLAND by there" and proceeded to point to the stamp making it very modern. ;D I felt a right fool and so did James! ;) Your is much older however mate Neil Title: Re: MELONHEAD first GEORGE SILVER Post by: Kev on October 22, 2009, 06:05:43 PM thanks for the info NEIL will try to show mark lodwick it sometime , ;)
