How well did this biker ring clean up?
I cleaned the Biker ring I dug up Sunday at my Dad's place. I left the patina on the bronze Indian face. The bronze head is mounted on a brass disk. The band is Alpaca silver. The band has got some pits, especially below the cartouche that you can see in the photos, that's the worst spot by far.
Now I just have to solder those bronze cartouches back on. One is still on in the pictures, but it fell off after the pictures were taken, luckily I didn't lose either one.
Here's the ring pretty much as it came out of the ground:
And here it is after cleaning (please excuse a few stray steel wool strands):
FYI, here are some other Mexican biker rings sold or for sale on eBay.
