[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4482663, member: 2844"]The assay town. Yes, legally it had to be marked, but in reality that didn't always happen, as I said before. That is what assay means. Assaying does not just apply to cigarettes and alcohol, but also to precious metals.;) Yes, the casting and finishing is clearly not perfect, which could have been done anywhere, and even by someone who works alone. I have never heard of grand scale jewellery manufacture in Schwäbisch Hall, I only know the old Haller/Heller coins, which were a standard for many Medieval traders. Do you have any examples of Schwäbisch Hall jewellery, or information on the history of jewellery manufacture in Schwäbisch Hall maybe? It is a charming pendant, but frankly I don't see the perfection of Pforzheim pieces. Or of Schwäbisch Gmünd jewellery (my soft spot) for that matter.[/QUOTE]
