Hey Nick. It looked good but after taking a jeweler's file to it and a little acid proved it to be plated.
Thanks Scooter. I don't get it. People don't understand when you try to erase the bad things in history your just providing opportunity to make the bad mistakes again. Thanks for looking.
Bummer. It looked good but it's plated.
Joe,
I said it was not meant to offend. I didn't make it. I don't promote it, I just found it. I put on the US Army uniform to defend the right of all Americans. Those I agree with and those I diagram with. As far as Karma goes. I think the pepole that try to erase our mistakes will only cause us to make them again. I agree we may have a differant view on Karma but my suggestion is study the history of America, put on a uniform and you'll see history through the glasses that prvoided you the freedom and right to be wrong. Thanks for looking and commenting. Good hunting.

Thanks Felix. It's become almost the norm around here that everything that looks gold is plated. But a good hunt anyway. Thanks Cat Man.

All I said in my last reply was first that you made a valid point..and in the end that I don't know what I would have done with it..the bad karma meant that it was owned previously by someone who may have had bad intentions..not that you possessing it was a bad thing..only meant it had its own bad energy..it's a relic..we find relics.. I see that I was not clear and that you misinterpreted my meaning of bad karma..you did nothing wrong...
Thank you for your service to your country..and your brothers in arms..
I took the asvab and almost signed for a $5000 bonus..but my mother was too much against it.. I was the only surving son.. I got her point..
7 generations ago my far great grandfather Albertus Bartholomew Joy fought to free this country from the British..My father Charles Joy was a 50% disabled Marine veteran of WW2..
This is a picture of my brother..Richard Dennis Joy KIA June 20 1969..SGT CoB 1/61 1st Brigade 5th Div (M)
Let's bury the hatchet..and let this misunderstanding go.. I didn't serve..but I sure as hell understand the cost of freedom..
