[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 1886014, member: 111"]Flipper - please understand that I believe your intentions are good, but when you post comments and images without including a corresponding link or at the very least, noting the source of your information (and you do it fairly often, whether you intend to or not), it is frustrating and can be basically useless without being able to put the posts in context. This one, though seeming to be your statement of personal knowledge, was just so obviously not your words that, after my initial momentary confusion, I felt a need to ask - and yes, as someone who like so many others here and on other venues, has shared the benefit of years of experience, personal research, and reference libraries, finding one's 'original' words (often even a number of full paragraphs), copied and pasted into quite a few places as if belonging to the person answering a question on a forum, or 'writing' a blog, or describing an item for sale, etc., is a bit annoying, and that doesn't even get into the accuracy of the information 'lifted'... Since the source of the statement has still not been cited, here it is, a 2011 post on the eBay jewelry forum in response to a query about a brooch, no images of item or marks remain: [URL]https://community.ebay.com/t5/Archive-Fine-Jewelry-Gems/I-have-a-silver-filigree-brooch-marked-1000-on-back/td-p/1393001[/URL] ~Cheryl[/QUOTE]
