[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 9841627, member: 51"]Thanks for the additional views. :) Curious if any of our US members have seen a stamp written like this? What I normally see written in the U.S. (and very common) is more like "1/20th 14k GF"... When I do an advanced search I can't find anything else stamped in this numerical style. It certainly may be plated, I'd love to see at least one example of a similarly stamped piece to be sure. I have testing acid/stone, but if it is plated you can get a false positive, and it could rub some of the plating off which I'd rather not do. [ATTACH=full]492138[/ATTACH] It was sold as plated but you should see the other things I got at this sale that were missed. Finding another piece out there with a similar mark would be helpful, if anyone has a lead. Also good point that the charms could be something different.[/QUOTE]
