[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9499016, member: 2844"]That is a lovely present, Kiko.:happy: Most European countries have assay marks, and since the 70s most are also members of the Hallmarking Convention. The Convention hallmark is a set of scales with the millessimal fineness in between the scales. Germany doesn't have actual assay marks and it hasn't joined the Convention. They mark in millessimal fineness, and I think this sweetie could be German. It is also something they would make. Could be by one of the Pforzheim makers. (Germany has the imperial crown mark for gold, but that is rarely used. It is marked by the manufacturers, so not a hallmark/assay mark.) They're so helpful. This morning Dewi presented me with a small package of screws.:cat: She was sure I needed them for breakfast.:hilarious:[/QUOTE]
