1804 Northwest Co. Fur Trade Gorget - Large fur trade beaver - Obverse: Hand tooled beaver. Three hallmarks: "Q" standing for Quebec (The Northwest Fur Company headquarters was in Montreal but a large post was in Quebec); "XY" A very early and rare hallmark of the Northwest Fur Trade Company; and thirdly "WB" (probably the silversmith's hallmark). Weighs 242 grms, on handling and visually it seems to be made of lead, hence possibly a cast copy or reproduction. Please review carefully, authentification of such items is questionable at best. Bid accordingly.
