  Hi,
  
  Thanks for responding. I see I spelled it wrong - XFR XRF..well...I did try several lead-testing companies and scrappers - so far they will only test if I want to sell for scrap or have some industrial or commercial connection. I have three historic items - two known and one to be verified. I want to get all three tested. All three would fit in a small handbag.
  
  Best,
  Eric

  NGC does metal composition testing on coins. If your items are small enough, I wouldn't be surprised if they could handle them for you. I think they charge $75/each, or roughly like that. Give them a call and see...

  You might also ask local art or history museums; the larger museums likely have access to this capability (either in-house or through local analytical firms).

  If you absolutely run out of options locally, my local scrapyard is run by a guy in my coin club and he'll do XRF for $5 a pop.
