<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kardinalisimo, post: 67080, member: 118&quot;]I see that, but it is not enough to conclude that the base metal is brass. Maybe it is, but I have to scratch deeper. The handle is removable and I did a deep cut on one of the ends. I think I see yellow but need to inspect it on day light.</p><p>I&#039;ve had sterling pieces with gold/yellow spots that look just like brass. Even if marked, many times I&#039;ve doubt if they are solid or not because of such spots. And most of the time they don&#039;t come out easy.</p><p>So, you may be right but I will know more tomorrow. I am trying to figure what is written above &#039;silver&#039; but not enough clear letters.</p><p>While researching I found that some Japanese pieces are marked &#039;sterling 950&#039;. I thought only 925 is considered sterling?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
