<p>[QUOTE="mhc4444, post: 103735, member: 1469"]its hard to judge if its unmarked silver without experience with silver and some testing. it doesn't look to have the age to be before a mark is needed (varies alot in europe), but private people are usually not allowed to mark silver on their own, so it could be a homemade piece that is unmarked.</p><p>as theoldguy suggested, try looking it over with a powerful magnifier. i once found a vesta case, and there were hallmarks so small on it that i thought they were just small dings in the metal, seriously they were as small as a needle mark. i was selling it on ebay and i had to photograth through my magnifying glass xD[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
