<p>[QUOTE="AnaK, post: 9763887, member: 12684"]Thank you very much for all the suggestions. The combination of "gold" and marcasite puzzled me the most! tested for 10K gold, which of course it is not. It "cleans" with a typical silver dark grey residue - i will try testing it for silver again. The mark is very hard to photograph, and to read as it is on an angled panel and the light reflects a lot from the gold. Your suggestion about gold wash made me think that maybe the first letter is G, so the it could be G W SS, "gold wash sterling silver" ?! </p><p><br /></p><p>"Stones" - perhaps indeed carnelian glass! i will research further!</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts on the age or origin? art deco?</p><p>many thanks again[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
