[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 1001168, member: 111"]I think it's quite nice too, AJ, and those are the same initials I read, perhaps I'll hear back from the artisan I found - his cast silver jewelry pieces and some other items bear a strong resemblance, but I didn't find any with his initials, and when he does sign, appears to be either first initial and last name, or full name, in script. Regardless, a nice addition to my collection... I had some question as to the material from just seeing the pics, but had little doubt once it arrived, just to be sure though, took it to my jeweler - acid-testing came up as sterling, he was bothered by the lack of a fineness mark (which didn't really concern me), and since it was small enough to fit in his specific gravity tank, he double-checked and it tested as sterling again.
