Gairsoppa silver box restoration

[mr-dead]

Recently purchased another Gairsoppa 10oz 4700 mintage bar.  Comes in some really nice packaging and high gloss wooden box but unfortunately like a few others I have seen the inner skin of the box was damaged.

Stripped it down and had a look and its only made from very thin plastic with a flock coating to give it a velvet feel :

A quick 3D modelling session in tinkercad and a replacement is done then 3D printed.

Just ordered a flock kit so will look and feel as original but much stronger

cracking job

Nice, I just got a Tuvalu 2 oz Romans from the Warfare series where the same thing happened.  Don't think the inner skin stood up to transit very well.

Well done - I dont have one of these but know the flimsy flocked plastic and its junk.  It gwts worse with age so well fixed!

I have one of these bars, sadly no box or coa. Would have loved to find an empty one lol. 

 

Thats a a pretty solid job @mr-dead

Flock kit arrived and applied.

Took 2 attempts to get it spot on but looks great althought hard to capture in the pic.
