<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 58548, member: 59"]There's nothing about these marks that matches any system for identifying solid silver that I know of. Many makers of silverplated items use fancy looking symbols to impress the buyer into thinking the items are better than they actually are. I even tried finding these marks in the "unknown" or "Unidentified" sections of silverplate marks sites, without success. So I can't even say whether the item is plated. Sorry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
