Hello all,

I'm hoping that one of you has a contact for an expert in historical engraving on jewelry, watches, badges, etc. who would be willing to look at items being offered for our collection. I need someone able to authenticate the era of engraving, and they need to be good enough to do it via photographs. 

Any leads would be appreciated, thanks!

Best,
