    Hello all I am from Sweden and I have this really cool money clip and i cant find this exact kind online anywhere just those that are kind of similar like that the trees in the symbol are visibly green, mine is not. Anyone know if this is real or when its from or anything at all really thanks! (I posted this in metalwork also but ill put it here for good measure, I hope thats ok)

    No marks? How do you know it's gold?

    My guess is it was made for an FBI officer who retired, although similar ones can be owned by anyone who wants one. A gold money clip would be a standard retirement gift.

    Possibly a custom item.

    A lot of non-gold ones for sale, also with branches that aren't green, but no gold ones so far.
    Could be.

    I’d be interested in understanding how a jeweler could tell if it was just gold plated or gold all the way through

    There are also electronic testers that work pretty well.
