its probably my colour is off on the screen.gone back to it and it still looks lighter than bronze finish.But Neds probably right.
A nice catch Slade!
I would agree with Ned's assessment, but not too sure about the backplate. Here is my example with a darker plate.

A nice find, congrats!
Hi Ralph,
Regarding the backplate, it appears that the bronze plated backplate is more common than your black one. Here is a direct quote from Tom Durante on a thread on GCA that I can't link to on here:
"The copper coating would definately mute the details a bit. What is throwing me is the black backplate, usually bronze FLL clasps have more of a golden colored plate."
And here are numerous examples to show just how prevalent they are, in my rough estimation around 8 "golden colored" to every 1 black type.
Regards, Ned.

Ned, if you can edit and let me know what page, I will see what I can do.

FWIW, my bronze grade has a dark backplate which has partly lifted to show a bronze-like material underneath (yes I know I need better photos)
Glenn, this is a JFS example, I believe the issue we were talking about is a trait of FLL examples.by Glenn66
