It looks very clean. It could be OK, but personally, if offered to me, I would pass on it.
Cheers, Ade.

A little bit different photos:
Adrian, why you would pass on it?
It is just so clean. I just don't see any age to it?
But good items, if well stored, can look like new, even if they are 70 years old.
It could be OK. If buying for myself, I like to play safe
Cheers, Ade.

Thank you for your opinion!
Any other thought?
Hello,
I wouldn't buy it thinking that it was pre 1945 either.
It is okay as a collectors piece but it looks as though it was made yesterday.
The twists on the pin are too neat and the gold is simply glowing with absolutely no age to it at all.
I don't think the gilding is mecurial.
All the best
Doug
