[QUOTE="RachelW, post: 9828206, member: 15376"][CENTER]I'm glad I woke up early after a 1am start time for work last night! Risked 4 euros on this 72g necklace marked 925, and this little cross with a lozenge makers mark. The silver is a bust, zero positive with the acid so I 'got done' there. But the cross tested between 4 and 18k! 2.1g :woot: I then looked at the two marks under a loupe for the first time, lovely old eagle head!
