:::: Just be careful because I seem to recall objects that are marked PAK 94 so you would assume the fineness to be 94% solid silver but in actuality the objects turn out to be much lower silver content (I seem to remember 60% silver or something around that). ::::::
::::: Looking at the coin dishes, those do appear to be high-grade silver, so maybe there was a tradition of an actual silver content of 94%, but over time the tradition just moved towards a lower silver content, but the same mark was kept being applied. :::::::::::::::::
::::: I had something that was PAK 94 in the past but I can't remember what it was ::::::::::::::

Thank you, I mean to read in another site that someone let check the silver content and it was around 76%.
For sure no 94% silver :)
