<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 2422917, member: 2844&quot;]The word sterling was probably added for export, but it has no business being there. If it has an 84 mark, it isn&#039;t sterling. 84 is the Russian mark for 84 zolotniki, which is the same as .875 silver fineness. Sterling is .925.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Russia has only begun to use sterling silver very recently. Old and antique Russian silver can be of a higher or a lower fineness, but it is never sterling.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know if anyone knows of old Russian 84 silver which is also marked sterling? It looks a bit sus to me, but I could be wrong. There are many fakes out there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
