    Inside box it says 70% silver. Back of spoon has a hallmark and 70*. Am I to assume correctly it's 70% silver, as in silver silver? Chinese or Japanese? Korean? Thanks for any info!

    If Korean, the symbol after 70% is not a hallmark.

    You may be able to see a match between what's on the box or the sticks and something on this page from the 925-1000 site about Korean marks.

    They do apparently allow 700 silver.

    the sign in the circle means silver in Korean.
    they use metal sticks only, no wood.
    the sign in the soup spoon is a Chinese sign; the family names and sometimes other items like Gods etc. are in Chinese script.
