camokid Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 thanks chaps i dont no much about roe measurments its 600g dead on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) It will make a medal fella so well done.Should dry down to the 540ish mark or there abouts if its just been cleaned.Take off 90 deduction and that will give you around the 45 points for dry weight.Give it roughly 50 for volume,12 for length and you have a bronze already.The span and beauty points could well take it into silver although it has poorish coronets,colour and pealing.Good stuff. Looking again and the colour is actually not too bad at all so would be average.I think the span would score very low although not too sure without the measurements.

If the head doesnt lose much more weight it should be a silver for sure.Post the weight in a week or two of it sitting on a radiator and it shouldnt lose much after that.
