The little piece of textile was indeed the remains of an old string, I removed it.</p><p>2. Yes, the hallmarks are the same on both the clasp and the tongue.</p><p>3. Yes, I did the &quot;teeth test&quot; and it feels like small grain sandpaper. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this extra info is helpfull, would love to know all about it!</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards</p><p><br /></p><p>Robbie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
