Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7512 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 4:42 pm I'd like to hear your opinion, is this a Struck Through Grease or a foreign object! I did not expect this when I got it, as you see from the seller's pic. I was just expecting a Greaser. But once in hand and under the scope, the vertical parallel lines and uneven field became evident. What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 4:48 pm But there no texture like you would see on a cloth struck through: But is looks like grease, grit and possible paper. But is a struck through '?' for sure. Edited by coop 01/14/2019 4:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7512 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 4:58 pm Thanks Kanga and coop I am also thinking that it may be more than just the grease but not quite sure. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 6:04 pm Seems struck through for sure. Exactly what still has me scratching. Seems grease and or debris making an odd formation. The sudden stop is puzzling. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 01/14/2019 9:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7512 Posts	Posted 01/15/2019 10:16 am Same here Doug, that's what got me thinking as well, the formation doesn't seem to be just the ordinary Struck Through Grease! Report this Post to the Staff
