<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 514600, member: 111&quot;]Eh, you&#039;d think they would have marked them for the higher .900 standard, but suppose the .800 covers it.&nbsp; The German-made souvenir spoons are much better quality than the Egyptian-made - every once in a while, a German piece will show up with a &#039;600&#039; mark, so would assume these were special orders for the Egyptian market, but the bulk of the spoons are simply marked &#039;800&#039;, though the occasional &#039;835&#039; or &#039;935&#039; shows up.&nbsp; I have a well-done German enamel spoon topped with a Horus falcon that&#039;s unmarked except for a tiny engraved Arabic &#039;90&#039; for .900 fineness...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
