<p>[QUOTE="Chinoiserie, post: 12104314, member: 79460"]Thanks. I'm starting to think its not silver and likely plate. I did a couple of tests this morning and getting a mix of muddy browns, blues and yellows. Also in the crease near the base their is some green corrosion so likely a cupric alloy underneath and maybe lead/tin solder giving the blue and green colours with the test. It rings like a bell so maybe brass or copper. It would still be nice to know what the mark is though. Ill keep looking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
