<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JewelryPicker, post: 4138646, member: 20513&quot;]Sigh.....Well my apologies, not intending to be condescending.&nbsp; Your guess is based on your experience and I respect that, but it’s still an informed guess.&nbsp; I understand it’s difficult to accurately gauge vintage even when holding the piece.&nbsp;&nbsp; I’ve been doing this for quite some time as well. I’m not discounting your age estimate, as all opinions shed some light on this mystery </p><p><br /></p><p>Standardization is not universal, I am aware of that.&nbsp; And I am well versed in silver marks, I enjoy the European marks and all that you can learn from them.&nbsp; By “standardization” I mean hallmarking standards that most exporting countries adhere to, those which do not already have a robust system such as the Brits.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In this case, a relatively modern piece of platinum would typically be marked PLAT, PT or it’s numerical purity.&nbsp;&nbsp; However this piece has symbols which are very worn and clearly are not “standardized” markings as described.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>thanks for everyone’s opinions, or expertise[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
