<p>[QUOTE=&quot;benbenny007, post: 251659, member: 4194&quot;]No no they are not silverplate. I understand your concerns but I buy a fair amount of scrap metals on a weekly basis so know how to dertimine plated from sterling.&nbsp; I&#039;ve acid tested them in several areas and all goes red. I also went in very deep to get to the core!&nbsp; I used two different silver acids and also tested it with that other acid (forgot the name) that goes green/blue when in contact with non precious metals. All pieces tested as sterling.&nbsp;&nbsp; The copper reinforcement is only in the part which connects them together and the silver around it is at least 1mm to 1.5mm tick. The rest looks like it has no copper core.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There is also one branch which is loose and needs repair. I could remove this piece and acid test it because it will not come in sight.&nbsp; Went in very deep with the veil and no copper core or other non precious metal.&nbsp; The inside is weighted with black wax or tar?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
