<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 4543693, member: 10944&quot;]Marked 1-3 Sterling. I have another sterling buckle by a different manufacturer with the same patent. The other is marked just sterling. I’ve never seen 1-3 sterling mark and don’t know what the 1-3 is. May not even be related to the silver? Either way this one looks like it’s silver plated and worn to brass. There is some serious verdigris which would point to this. I’ve seen verdigris on silver but not like this on sterling fineness. Thought for a second it could be worn gold plating showing the silver underneath but wear location isn’t right. Has anyone seen something like this? I don’t think Knothe was making counterfeit sterling so guessing 1-3 relates to plating? [ATTACH=full]402576[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]402577[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
