[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 395041, member: 2844"]Welcome to the forum, Havok. I'm sorry to hear that you've been through the wars so much, and are now struggling with medical costs, etc. Sadly it is a story that is familiar to others on the forum as well. Investing in precious jewellery is a good idea, as long as you spend wisely and bear in mind that some items will only sell after a long period of time. As you already found out, you can be very lucky sometimes. But that is only sometimes. So you have to think what you can do with the money you have, and do a lot of research. It is good that you've joined us. But because the marks are not very legible, we can't say much in this case. Evelyb's reply was spot on, although I don't see any Portuguese marks (birds). And when it comes to the ca 800 finenesses, Portugal has 835 silver and 800 gold. I tweaked your photo a bit to see if the marks become a little more legible. [ATTACH=full]137283[/ATTACH] It looks like there is a crown just over the first 3, and something to the right of 833. [ATTACH=full]137284[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
