They are in slabs so some scratches are on the plastic. The 1911 is labeled &quot;cleaned&quot;, the 1912 is what Q.David Bowers says matte proofs should look like if they weren&#039;t dipped or cleaned.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim</p><p>1911, so you can see the grainy surface.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/1911pf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1911</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/1912pf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>1912 in slab to show coloration.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/1911pf-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
