African Gold Company Identification Bracelet

This is a yellow-gold toned identification-style bracelet featuring a multi-link brick or panther-style band. The central identification plate is rectangular and high-polished, although it currently exhibits noticeable surface scratching and minor abrasions consistent with regular wear. On the upper surface of the plate, the alphanumeric code 'ZA 2379' is stamped prominently at the top. Below this, there is a circular logo featuring what appears to be a bird (likely a crane or eagle) surrounded by concentric text, accompanied by the vertically oriented inscription 'AFRICAN GOLD COMPANY'. The bracelet utilizes a series of five-row interlocking links that offer flexibility and a luxurious drape. The closure system consists of a fold-over clasp mechanism, which appears functional but shows some surface wear. The craftsmanship suggests a commercial production from the late 20th century, likely designed as a commemorative or corporate gift item. While the branding mentions gold, the visible wear patterns and oxidation near the link junctions suggest the item may be gold-plated base metal rather than solid gold, though a professional acid test would be required for confirmation. The overall condition is good, with a light patina and no missing links or major structural deformities.
