After more cleaning and polishing, it turns out the fittings are all silver. It's too bad the bolster was broken like that.

Manolo,

I think I and Zifir might have been looking at the date before the clean picture. After you posted the better picture, I am more inclined to think it is a 9 rather than a 6. Which unless tha date helps you attribute the piece to a historical figure or an event, is not so important, and it is in all cases a nice early 19th century piece.

Regards,

Teodor

Hi Teodor,

The precise date is indeed not that important. I was just getting confused about Arabic numerals and wanted to be sure I was using the correct reference.

All the best,
Emanuel
