<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 835650, member: 5833&quot;]My understanding of a simple acid test for silver is that it is A) not highly precise &amp; B) does not require a purity of 925 of more to give a positive result.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what lowest quality would give a positive result.&nbsp; It would be interesting to test a piece of Egyptian silver with a 600 mark.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You have to keep in mind that a piece can&#039;t be any older than the newest element in it (repairs being the exception).&nbsp; In this case, the clasp is also more recent than Edwardian &amp; the hairdo really does give a <i>terminus post quem</i>.&nbsp; And she is pretty.&nbsp; My newest pretty lady is having a bubble bath.&nbsp; Will show her when the last of the grime is out.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
