ID on hallmarks please!!

Hi all .
Have acquired a necklace.
Looks to be gold, but I'm struggling to make out the hallmarks .

Any info would be greatly appreciated

Regards

 

Very hard to decipher. Post pics of the rest. The folks in here usually like to see the whole piece

 

Ok....

Does the 1st pic look like a squashed 375?

Or is it C18 if you turn upside down??

I'll post a pic now

 

That first one is too blurry. Try retaking and posting

 

As clear as I can get it. It's tiny - looks like 375, but it seems too dark and weighty to be 9ct

 

I think I see the 5 you see to the right of the bale that’s covering up everything else. Can you move that bale to get a better pic of everything else?

 

The bottom mark looks lik CIC almost

 

I've posted a screenshot above....

Struggling to get under 1mb to post more pics!!

Do you think it could maybe be arabic?

 

I was going to scrap it in.

Don't want to be getting 9ct prices if its 18 or even 21ct !!

Thought somebody may have been able to decipher the hallmarks and maybe help with purity

 

Best I can get.

I give up!

 

In the 1st and 2nd photo one mark in each photo is covered with solder and will never be read.

 

Makes me think Egyptian marks...
Please, show the whole piece, it may help for the origin
And, welcome on board!

 

Took it to antique dealer for scrap.
He said it was C18 (18ct)

Anyway, 16g... paid me £550, so I'm happy with that.

Thanks for your help

 

Take the money and run, as they say. Did the dealer test it?

 

As long as you are happy with that!

 

What’s the formulae you use? I got over $717 for 100% melt
