<p>[QUOTE="Plumbata, post: 3719662, member: 96864"]It looks like it's made of zinc (not known in its metallic form to the Ancients) or some sort of "pot metal". I have no idea what the symbols are, but suspect that it is relatively modern. Zinc items can get corroded like that after only 30 years of burial, or even less time if buried in more reactive conditions. Save your money and wait for something genuinely awesome to show up! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
