I am the proud owner of this cute strainer. No hallmarks but something
written in the arabic alphabet. What does it say? Can we deduct which country does it come from? Any help keenly appreciated.

Hello Fatso,

Have you tested the metal? It doesn't look like silver. It might be Albaca, a white metal as silver is not stamped in this way. It may be Morroccan and the writing( Klintin) may be the maker's name.

Regards,

Hada

Thanks Hada. Would not wish to spoil the surface with a drop
of my muriatic acid. I used to use it with a wild abandon and now regret it.
Will try hydrostatic method as soon as
a bit of fishing line with hook to hand.
