I'm not questioning the authenticity of the job Jose. This just isn't a case where my personal aesthetic and ideas about restoration would choose not to change anything. If indeed this middle ring was once silver it seems it was replaced for some reason in it's history. Part of what i am collecting is the history of the piece. My reasoning is not a case of right or wrong, merely a preference. Again, you did a very nice job...
