Tigreos29 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 04/15/2021 1:47 pm Has anyone seen one of these before that looked like this. I can manage to see that the date is 1929. I'm hoping it is an error rather then wear. Report this Post to the Staff

The central feature almost looks like a lamination or something like that, but I suspect it's damage too. Our experts should be able to confirm or deny. Report this Post to the Staff
