Nice find Joel, it looks to be the real deal, just some thick tarnish in places what looks to be sat on the silver, it should lift off with a soak Wink

Yeah you can try it, just spit and don't rub just hold it and let it get hot, I have removed thick tarnish that way before off a coin, I had it fizz and make a hole through the tin foil but that was on a hammered.
