1916-1917 Navy Receiver Proofs

Pete Ebbink · 07-16-2002, 03:30 AM

Hello Johnny,

Forgive me for being a little slow on the uptake...

From the starter post by Luke, he is asking if all authentic Navies should not have the "halo" effect.

The 1917 Navy scan/photo you posted has the halo effect with means it was stamped after rust bluing...isn't this "not typical" for DWM ?

A Forum member has sent me in the past two weeks photos of his newly acquired 1916 (or 1917 Navy) that I recall does not show the halo effect and is reported by the Member's Navy "experts" as authentic.

I am really confused. Should DWM Navies have the halo effect or not ?

Pardon me for being a bit "dense"...

Pete
