This is NOT intended to be a nasty remark. It may be silver-plated. If it was sterling silver, it would be marked .925. Even without the mark, it is a gorgeous piece, and well-worth the credits bid. All my credits are tied up in another auction,(dang it, I'ld love to bid on this) but , with your permission, I'm fanning and watching.
Wow, I didn't know that about not being able to add pics late in the auction. Nice to know. :) Hate to keep bugging you but does the original box have a manufacturer name or anything else on it?
