OOPS SORRY, DOUBLE POST BY ACCIDENT, MY BAD. DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY WAY TO DELETE IT.

Click here to see the earlier thread with the original photo of the ring as it appeared after just a rinse.


Here is the biker ring after cleaning. I left the patina on the Indian head. The band is alpaca silver, the head seems to be bronze, and the base that the head is mounted on is brass. There is some pitting in the alpaca silver, but the head and its brass base are perfect. I lost a little of the patina over the right eye, but it will darken again in time. I still have to solder on the right hand cartouche.
