[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9545903, member: 2844"]The metal looks like gilded silver, but it is best to have it tested to be certain. The main denominations in Latvia are Lutheran and Roman Catholic, and both use chalices. If this is a Roman Catholic chalice and paten, the text could be in Latin. It is very difficult to read from a photo though, so bosko's idea of writing it out is good. I believe I see Mgr. (at 11 o'clock), which could mean Monseigneur, which is how a bishop is addressed.[/QUOTE]
