<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 914442, member: 5833&quot;]Was your spoon made at all recently?&nbsp; I don&#039;t really know, but got the impression, when I was still paying attention to Egyptian jewellery, that maybe they were shifting toward western standards &amp; preferences in silver purity, at least for tourist items.&nbsp; Have seen pieces marked 925 in both numeral systems.&nbsp; I can imagine they might have difficulty selling new work in 600 silver when so much of the world tourists come from just expects silver to be sterling.&nbsp; Guess the other question would be whether your spoon is of the souvenir type or was it made for domestic use?&nbsp; Might still be using 600 for utilitarian items at home.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
