<p>[QUOTE="pewter2, post: 364218, member: 6719"]As much as I hate using the term possible "duty dodger"...if so, best case scenario it may be silver, but would always have to be referred to as white metal if sold ..otherwise ...disappointment. Would have been easier with pic of item and actual marks . If it proves to be silver and needed to be authenticated as such , the London assay office would either destroy item if deemed fake marks or re assay item and place today's hallmarks on it and deform existing marks ( correct me if I am wrong , ..????) because it may be the former, without checking reference I may be wrong...... regards...pewter2[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
