[QUOTE="Jose Garcia, post: 10254408, member: 89860"]Spanish 916 sterling silver is a sterling silver which means that 91.6% of the piece is pure silver. For a long time, from 1881 onward, .916 was the highest fineness used in Spain. Only in the late 20th century did they start using .925 fineness (sterling) and very rarely .999. Any ideas about these silver stamps?[/QUOTE]
