Old Germanic sterling ring sizer

    Had this ring sizer for donkeys years and always wondered how old it was.
    Some details
    weight 40gms
    main ring 6cm Diameter
    readable text
    "M.Zwatschka" "Wien" "J.PachXXXX" "Donath"(owners name?)
    "875"(very faint on rear) "S"(possibly sterling under solder joint)
    scale "1-20"
    The rings look like they were hammered round which makes me think it might be reasonably old although I don't know when the ring numbering system came into being, That will set a limit on how old it could possibly be.
    Any ideas??
    Cheers
    Stephen

    That's a cool piece. Seems like it has some genuine age to it. Very nice.
