<p>[QUOTE="JTR, post: 2329892, member: 2254"]I thought I had posted my comment but it must not have loaded or something. This is after a very light Wash with dawn dawn oap as [USER=59]@Bakersgma[/USER] suggested. I reinspected the mug and absolutely no signs of a hidden hallmark or engravings of any kind. The patena does not look nearly as heavy in the natural sunlight and I was able to thoroughly inspect it top to bottom. I may use a cleaner to do the base but it was clear to me (after looking in sunlight) that I will not discover a worn stamp. I don't typically buy silver without markings but I am confident it is sterling and just not stamped (which is uncommon I know). Because I had already dug into the bottom I did it again in the same spot and acid tested it again. Creamy white. The same colour as a stamped sterling baby spoon I use as my reference item. So where do I go from here!!!? I appreciate all the help I have recieved so far. Thank you all very very much. [ATTACH=full]260066[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
