What kind of fish is that? Gold buttoned striper? Nice find and catch!

Thank you for the pic ! I guess there are no hallmark/s , Any chance this might have been a cuff link ? The reason I ask is that
I have seen several gold cuff links and zero gold buttons over the years . Whatever it was - it is a rare and special find ! and I'm
guessing at least 18K , and possibly 22K ! Keep us posted when you get it tested .

I'm interested in this highly unusual find - bumping it back up for more discussion (hopefully !)

Sure looks old to me! Hard to date without the back piece, but impressive nonetheless.
