coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/16/2018 8:04 pm A lot of plus and minus on this one. Plus: 1. The devices fade to the straight clip areas on both sides. 2. There does appear to be a Blakesley. 3. The ends of the clipped area looks correct. Minus: 1. The rim may have taken a hit on the Blakesley area almost to the point that it looks fake. 2. The 'L' looks weak? Why? Not sure. But after the plus and minus, I feel it is the real deal. Report this Post to the Staff

But with the weakness in the wheat ear it's a clip. Looks to me like it's a tapered clip with a full obv, and the taper on the rev side Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/17/2018 01:44 am This is a straight clip, so the affected area is the edge of the metal and sometimes the edge is no square. Report this Post to the Staff
