<p>[QUOTE="gimbler-dave, post: 72469, member: 313"]So, for example on that page, see the Czech Republic marks on the right side. If you find a tiny rabbit with a tiny number 5 to its right, you have an item made of .800 (80% silver). Just an example, but the marks can be so tiny you need a good magnifying glass to make out. The English have a system with several marks that tell quite a story about a piece including its year, maker, a city. The particular marking system will depend on the country. If you find any small marks and can get a decent picture, we can tell you more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
