<p>[QUOTE="Dory64, post: 4522503, member: 17558"]Hi all, just for your interest, my local antiques dealer acid tested this casket and it reacted as non-silver although he had been quite sure it was silver. As a result of the test he decided it must be polished pewter which looks like, and is soft like, silver - the thin metal is quite pliable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
