[QUOTE="LoveTheHunt!, post: 1249871, member: 8191"]Greetings! I bought this bracelet at an estate sale this weekend, and hope (and BELIEVE!) that someone here can tell me something about it... It is 7/8" wide and weighs a bit over 2 oz., with "hobnails" all around. It hinges open, fastens closed with a pin. It DOES test positive for strong silver content. The only marks on it are 3 tiny indistinct stamps at the edge. Two of them appear to be the same, with just enough detail to know they ARE intentional marks, but nothing I can make out or photograph. The third mark is slightly larger, with partial letters or shapes visible. I'm posting some large images of the bracelet and marks. I'll appreciate any thoughts as to age, origin, makers, etc. [ATTACH=full]215931[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]215932[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]215933[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]215936[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]215934[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]215935[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
