<p>[QUOTE="Gus Tuason, post: 581032, member: 10012"]Very nice piece. I'm with bronwen on the silver being low grade (80%-). I always polish pieces like this so I can see what the oxidized metal looks like. It may polish to a silver color then rapidly tarnish to a goldish color which just means that the other 20% is high in copper. The Mari----- inscription looks pretty ratty and looks as though it could easily be removed which would improve the looks of the piece tremendously.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
