[QUOTE="kardinalisimo, post: 9056, member: 118"]Thanks for the replies. That scratch on the bottom was already there. So, I guess it is a 'pretender'. The Sheffield makers used pseudo marks to imitate sterling but that was for short time before the regulation kicked in. But I don't think the pieces dates that early. AF, what do you mean it is not verdigris? Is not that what you call the green when the copper oxidies? Or maybe use both words - verdigris patina. You are right for not being rust, that is term related to iron corrosion.[/QUOTE]
