Halfwitty Pillar of the Community United States 1523 Posts	Posted 03/13/2010 8:20 pm I'm confused between the two.I look at Heritage and see the discription deep cameo and the fields look black and I don't see any cameos that don't look black.Is it the lighting? Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/14/2010 07:32 am I am no pro but here is my take on this. The field will look "black" on both,the difference is in the "cameo". The "deep" cameo will have a much whiter look and a more richer look to the devices. Maybe a pro will answer and explain it better then me. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/14/2010 12:21 pm Yes,the whiter and richer and thicker the cameo appears the more the field will look black, like black chrome would look or a really nice mirror would look. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 03/14/2010 12:46 pm it doesn't really make the fields look deeper its the frost on the devices that is the cameo. If its has allot of frost its a deep cameo if not it is just a cameo. With Moderns it would be hard to find any proof that wasn't a deep cameo, just as with classics it would be hard to find one Report this Post to the Staff
