Featured 800 Silver Bracelet

Update ...

I bought it today

Together with 925 rings, 835 silver cufflinks, a 18k gold (plated ?) necklace

and
these chaps

Unfortunately the one on the left has a partially broken hat.
The one in white is a signed Wanjiang piece

and these cufflinks

Not sure if these are actual coins (paging @daveydempsey )

as the reverse isn't visible, while the coronation cufflinks I found online, do show it. On the other site of mine is this mark (that looks like a key to me)


And last, but not least, a cute little thing that will be added to my glass thread

 

The 835 cufflinks (only when I got home I noticed one was completely bent ) have a maker's mark

HM? WH? H[trident/something else]? [trident/something else]H?

 

An 835 mark generally means Germany sometimes Austria.

That one looks Italian. Italian gold and goldplated are not always the real deal, best have it checked by a jeweller.

Mudmen.

 

Thanks

It's marked CH 18k. I think I've seen that CH mark being discussed here before, but CH is too short to be used as keyword in the search option

I know

 

CH is the country code for Switzerland - Confederatio Helvetica or close enough. I have no idea if that's related.

 

On some sites they do indeed say that the CH mark is for Swiss gold, but I think someone started that rumour and then the rest copied it. Others say that CH is a fake mark, a maker's mark, or that it stands for China, Karat or Chapa, or that it's a mark related to the type of chain ...

 

You're right. CH is not a mark for gold or any other precious metal. The Swiss take themselves too seriously to mark gold in such a simple way. A way that can also be faked by anyone.
Older Swiss gold marks are a squirrel mark for .585 gold and a portrait of the mythical Helvetia for .750 gold.
More recently they began to use the St. Bernhard dog's head as a national mark along with an assay mark and the fineness mark.

 

It's a better guess that CH is a maker's mark, but weirder stuff has happened.
