<p>[QUOTE="drg642, post: 43917, member: 74"]Hi, this serving spoon is 8 1/2 inches long and weighs 78 grams. It is marked Schmidt & Feinstein and also has an impressed number 4. It has a strong positive result with the 18K acid test, but I know this is not definitive and can mean either sterling, or just silver plate with heavy plating. The only other test I know to do is the 14K acid dip test that my scrap metal guy taught me, and this can mar the item, especially if its not solid silver, so I'd rather not try it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Does the impressed number 4 indicate anything?</p><p><br /></p><p>I've searched ebay, google, worthpoint, replacements and not found Schmidt & Feinstein.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any help with this.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]11037[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]11038[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]11039[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]11040[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Does the impressed number 4 indicate anything? I've searched ebay, google, worthpoint, replacements and not found Schmidt & Feinstein. Thanks for any help with this.
