[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4138613, member: 2844"]This is a mark that consists of three characters or symbols. That means it isn't a Western purity mark, so you can rule any Western country out. And I thank you for being condescending. Your 'guess' is my experience, having lived at the time and seen countless similar designs. There is still no standardization in fineness marking. No guess, anyone who knows about precious metals can tell you that. For instance, these are current UK (London) sterling marks: [IMG]https://www.assayofficelondon.co.uk/media/1376/14_12_2011-97.jpg[/IMG] and these are the current Dutch fineness marks: [ATTACH=full]331831[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
