<p>[QUOTE="Nyatii, post: 3131959, member: 85686"]I broke back into the hidden gun room, and dug the medals out of a safe. Takes about 10 minutes to get to. Now I'm confused. The hook hardware appears to have a gold plating on it, but couldn't find any markings. It almost looks like a plating over brass coins, but the coins don't look cast, and the gold looking part on the coins looks new rather than oxidized like I think brass would after 100 years. And the edges of all three coins have crisp reeding. I wonder if they would have put a light plating over the coins/medals with brass in order to get another plating to stick to the silver? I know from plating guns I had to copper plate first to get gold to stick to the metal parts. Doesn't make sense to do that, and it would have to be very light in order to keep all the devices from filling in.[ATTACH=full]798873[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
