[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 351445, member: 2844"]But why is the mark in the gold and not the silver if it is a silvermark? The filigree also looks gold, and there doesn't seem to be any silver showing through suggesting gold-plated silver. Only the corner details and the opening tab look silver to me. A silvermark would be on one of those. I have seen 19th century Russian 88 zolotnik gold before, and it is also mentioned in a goldmark book.[/QUOTE]
