Hello,

Hello,
I am seeking information on a Russian silver cup with an assay master's mark and a Soviet-era mark of a hammer and sickle within a star. I have never seen a piece like this. Is this an older piece of silver that would have been re-assayed in the 20th century? (Please pardon my image of the ...

Hello,
This silver tray bears marks by Gorham and retailer marks for Theodore B. Starr. I have been told that they are cleverly faked marks.

Good Morning,
I had one of the salt cellars tested by a local assayer using EDXRF. The report came back with the pieces testing as 87.04% AG or silver.

Hello Peter,
Thank you for your speedy reply.
