IAB Restoration

[rbminis]

I would like to share another small restoration that I have done with you.
I purchased a JFS IAB in silver that was missing the clasp. I created a replacement out of brass and plated it with solder to create the silver color. With time, it will tarnish and hopefully attain the correct color. I also had to create the die to press it in place properly. Here are the before and after photos. First, the before photos.
I hope you enjoy this thread,
Ralph.
