[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 829653, member: 2844"]Exactly.:) And it was never used in the Netherlands either. Foreign silver with that low a fineness would be considered BWG, 'Beneden Wettelijk Gehalte', or below legal fineness, and never be marked. They even had trouble accepting .800, but did on and off, depending on trade or as support for silversmiths in Dutch East India.[/QUOTE]
