Precious metal tester
I use this high tech device, it is used for treating warts and costs 50 cents.
It also reacts with any non-precious metal by turning black when mixed with spittle or water. I was introduced to it by an Estonia/Russian gent who is a great collector within his limited means and has my utmost respect. I was slightly amused, but it is an invaluable item to check quickly metal content. Chris |

Hi Dude, pleased to see you back on the forum!
I use jeweler material, it is a set of little bottles of various acids, more and more powerfull, to detect gold (8k, 14k, 18 and 24k, platinium must resist to the strongest acid), and an acid for silver. The most difficult , rubbing the tynniest part possible of the medal on the stone test plate to have a trace of metal to be tested with a taer of acid on it. |

Berlin-Karlshorst Gold plated medals
Here are 5 "Defense of " medals as displayed in the Museum Berlin-Karlskorst (see my previous thread "Zhukov at Karlshorst (Berlin)" in the General talk Forum).
The Moscow one is not gold plated, but the Leningrad, Odessa, Caucasus and Stalingrad ones are, and in a very good state (even if the pocs don't give tribute to them). Ch. |
