Akro?

Are these Akros? Both are 21/32. The black in the black and white one looks to have some purple.

  yes, both Akros.  

 

It's rare to have black which doesn't seem to have some other tint on closer inspection.  What I'm curious about is if the black might have a layer of oxblood on top of part of it, but I don't know how to have you check for it.

From what I can see, I don't think there is any oxblood. Thank you Steph!

Best way is to put a really strong flashlight on the black - try it on varying angles - look for the telltale blood red overlay. Strong sunlight isn't bad either. It's surprising how often Akro did it.

I have not seen ox with black. But I have had a few with oxblood under blue. Wasn't there a name for those . . . was it Blueblood?

Yep, the blubloods are always fun to find. Akro seemed to love oxblood, didn't they?
