[QUOTE="Fid, post: 4458277, member: 7724"]JMHO. test it or make a small scratch to see if it's full silver. 90 would be silverplate in the German system and what many people don't realize - there were more Germans and German speakers in the Holy Land before and after the terrible deeds from 1933 to 1945 than we may think. especially artists/ silversmiths etc. that had the luck to escape or simply "had it" - in bigger numbers since the 1890s !!! -and emigrated from Europe to Palestine. an interesting group were the Pietist Templars from Southern Germany. normally members of these groups had to have at least a proper and useful apprenticeship to guarantee the surviving of the group in foreign lands.
