<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 4734049, member: 10944"]Picked this up at a sale today. Not cheap but it seemed worth a gamble. Quite heavy at over 60g. Not signed or marked other than JH lightly scratched in surface. Figured more likely the owner initials than the silversmith. On that note I assume it’s silver. I suppose there is a chance it’s plated or pewter but I’m pretty confident it’s silver. After I decided to buy it the lady at the sale handling jewelry claimed she tested it electronically and that it was 83%.There were some Nordic looking pieces in the sale. That along with the supposed silver content would lean me that way. I’m not well versed in the design of that region but I’ve seen a decent amount of it. This doesn’t seem like it doesn’t fit in. Looks like it could be adopted from a design earlier people’s of that region liked. Am I on the right track or is it something to totally different?
