hallmarks on exterior of wide wedding band

Post by ESG »

Hello. I have a wide antique wedding band that has the following marks on the outside. I assume the band is silver but I suppose it could be platinum or white gold. I've searched for the marks but I've come up empty.

There is an A at the top of the mark on the right. That's all I can make out for sure.

In the mark on the left there is what looks like a 5 turned on its side at the top of the square. But that may be my aged eyes playing tricks.

The ring is 7/16" wide and weighs 0.3 oz on my postal scale.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Hi,
It is Porto, could be both gold and silver: if an eagle, then it is silver, if a deer (antler) then it is gold.

Oh thank you so much! I see I have at least one of the marks upside down.

800 gold is my best guess

No expert on this subject at all, but the mark looks like 833 to me.

Okay I see what you mean. So it is silver. Not gold.
