A standard mark (lion passant) on Gold jewelry?

Postby chirs123 » Wed Dec 13, 2006 4:15 pm

Hello! I have this little webbing band looks like and claimed to be yellow gold, but it has a standard mark (lion passant) for 925 silver??? It also has a 1786 - 1821 duty mark, a date mark, and a marker's mark, but no city or town mark. Could anyone tell me is it possible to has the lion passant on a gold jewelry? Is it common to omit the town mark? Many thanks in advance!
