Guys, this is really helpful
the handle is hollow and does in fact have a hole at the end

Thanks guys; when I acid tested it, I made quite a deep scratch.
It looks very well made. I see it was put in the Scandinavian Section. I was hoping someone may say 'ah, I recognise that'; fingers crossed.

Hi guys, I don't know if anyone can help; have a very large silver spoon, only marks on it are SS. I acid tested it today and it tested positive for silver. I can't find any other marks. Seems very well made. Is it a holiday trinket or could it have some age to it. Weight 70.5g. Length 23cm. Bowl ap...

Cheryl, thanks for the information. The colour in the pics was tone, so I dipped them and they came up a nice silver; however, I acid tested them and as you said, silver plate on base metal. Gutted. Your information was excellent and I appreciate your help. Always good to learn something, even if it...

cheers,

Dear all, have a small broach with full uk gold marks, but i'm not 100% sure of the date mark. I think it's 1965, given the year letter, but, the cartouches are a completely different shape, which I think is ok for gold, but I may well be wrong; please provide me with some education. Appreciated as ...

Hope these are better, before uploading, these looked pretty big.

the one on the pendant is worn, will try the ring again later

i'll give it a go Trev

Hi Guys, I have a ring and pendant with unknown hallmarks. Ring is quite fancy with what looks like glass, but probably isn't, over something looking iridescent. The pendant is the same. All I can say is that the is a 925, a big D and then in an oval cartouche, a couple of squiggly letters and a sma...

Thank you
Appreciated
