<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ce BCA, post: 4171106, member: 18716&quot;]Here&#039;s something I found interesting.&nbsp; A 19th century cheese spoon in alpacca silver.&nbsp; It is marked alpacca in a circular form and there is a further mark, a rams head in the center, something like DK then Sheffield and the other word is illegible, it is poorly formed and can&#039;t make it out even under the microscope.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t see much marked alpacca in the UK and I don&#039;t think I have ever seen a Sheffield piece before.&nbsp; Also interesting was when I put silver acid on it (before studying the mark doh), the result was pretty much identical to Indian 50% rupee silver - went light brown, then straw, then blue/green.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]333279[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
