<p>[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 211626, member: 25"]I suspect it is Euripean and silver gilt. 835 is not a regular fraction for gold, it would be finer than 18 Carat which is unlikely and would feel quite heavy in hand, distinctively so. ( I have occasionally found high carat gold items just by the feel of them, so much heavier than they looked)</p><p><br /></p><p>Unless filed off, gilding will test as gold, you have to get below the surface.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
