[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 501053, member: 360"]Close-ups of the chain. "DUNKLING" refers to Dunkling's Jewellers, a jewellery and watchmaking house that used to exist here in Melbourne back around the late 1800s up to the mid-1900s. "STG" for sterling. There's another mark (not photographed, because it was too hard) that reads "S.S." for 'sterling silver'. And on top of that, all the individual links are also marked.
