<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 106526, member: 59"]Hi northern! I went through a large number of posts on the 925 Forums and I'm afraid the news isn't good. The general concensus is that the jewelry items marked this way are likely to contain little to no silver. In fact there are even British laws that refer to "China Silver" in the same way as nickel silver. There were some that did indicate that this mark is not uncommon for pieces from as early as the 1920's, so it might be as old as that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
