It could be applied to fine silver, and would be misleading, but not fraudulent, as the metal would test to being at least that. It would be silly too. <BR/><BR/>And, of course, the metal does not have to be marked at all. You can make items from metal clay which are fine silver (which can be marked 999) - and not mark them either. But it would be a missed marketing opportunity if you were selling.dragonjoolshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02694253446479395485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22215220.post-68837140922217071652008-07-22T07:09:00.000-04:002008-07-22T07:09:00.000-04:00Useful information.However, regarding the "925" st...Useful information.<BR/><BR/>However, regarding the "925" stamp on sterling silver readers should be aware that this is not necessarily a "hallmark".<BR/>A true hallmark is a a mark applied by an assay office to indicate the silver has been <B>independently</B> verified as being of a particular fineness and it is the buyer's guarantee of quality. In many countries these controls do not exist and the "925" stamp can be applied by the maker even though the silver is not of "sterling" quality.<BR/>Independent hallmarking is a legal requirement in the UK and a number of other countries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
