[QUOTE="Lizzie, post: 9600285, member: 2027"]They did use real silver during WWII when base metals were required for the war effort. Those pieces will be stamped ‘STERLING’. However, Trifari prided itself on marking every single piece it produced. In fact they advertised, “If it isn’t signed, it isn’t Trifari.” Below you’ll find the most common Trifari marks: [LIST] [*]KTF w/an enlarged T: 1925-30’s [*]Trifari + PAT PEND or PAT date: Mid-1930’s-1955 (see example above) [*]Crown over T in Trifari: Mid-1939 – 1955 [*]Crown over T followed by ©: 1955-69 (see example below in [I]Vintage Trifari Values[/I] section) [*]Trifari in italics with no crown, sometimes followed by a © or TM: 1970’s-80’s [*]Non-italics Trifari followed by TM: Late 1980’s-1999 (see example below) [*]No mark: 2000-Present (pieces sold on a card marked Trifari) [/LIST] I can't find anywhere that Trifari ever used only a crown.[/QUOTE]
