Thanks Ron. I agree. Actually the patina was so dingy and dark when I picked it up out of a box of stuff at the antique show only to my trained eye did I know it was a coticule. But the characteristics even at that were almost unrecognizable. That patina you see there was after approx 5 min of rinsing under the faucet during lapping. So, you can imagine how the thing was almost black. Also, lapping any more would mean the faint stamp (I've never seen a stamp on another coticule before) would have disappeared.
You need to post some of your nice stones!
