[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 407710, member: 2844"]Just an explanation of the mark: The square on the left has a town mark in the top, that particular dotted squiggle is for Cairo. Below that is an upside down V with a dot, that is for .800 silver fineness. The square on the right has the symbol for the period 2006-7. Egypt has an excellent assaying and marking system. There is usually a national mark as well.[/QUOTE]
