Description

The listing, Brand New Working Solid Sterling Silver Whistle and Silver Chain - Free US Shipping has ended.

This is a brand new working solid sterling silver (.925) whistle. Great gift for the coach in your life. We bought one for my volleyball coach brother, but his wife bought the same thing for him for Christmas. Truth is stranger than fiction :-<.

The first three images and the last one are from my camera the middle four are from the eBay listing. What appears to be a scratch in the second image is a reflection. The 925 is marked on the loop that holds the chain as well as on the chain itself as can be seen in the last 2 photographs.

Here is the item still for sale on eBay:

Here's the description from the page:

"This is a new solid sterling silver (marked) whistle on a sterling silver box chain that is 30 inches long. This would be a perfect gift for a coach. The whistle measures 1 1/2 inches long and 5/8 inch wide. The box chain has a spring ring clasp. This beautiful and useful necklace is brand new, so it is in perfect condition. Comes with a black velveteen bag for safekeeping."

The heavyweight silver chain is just as impressive as the whistle. I don't think the whistle was tried.

Free US Shipping.

Questions & Comments

OK I got the 925 pictured in the second larger loop of the whistle. I suppose it is arguable that the whistle itself is plated and the 2nd loop is stamped 925 to make it appear the whole whistle is silver. That is not what the eBay listing seems to advertise, but is a possibility.

The seller has 2500 reviews and 100% feedback which does not mean the whistle isn't a rip off but the seller does have a stellar reputation. I will write the seller now to see what they say.

OK I sent the question as follows: "The whistle itself is not marked 925, only the loop attached to the whistle. How does your supplier guaranty that the whistle itself is silver and not plated??". I will report back when it is answered.

By the way the link still doesn't work as printed. The problem is a space within the URL. Try this one instead without a space hopefully:

OK the reply is in already:

"I tested it myself. The bail, the whistle and the chain are all solid sterling silver. In addition, I have been buying sterling silver from this same supplier for over two decades.

I absolutely guarantee it is sterling silver."
