Hi,
I shall try to make close up photo but need better light (tomorrow). Do you want me to place it here or send to some e-mail address?

Old spoon from Gdańsk
Re: Old spoon from Gdańsk
Hi,
The spoon appears to be made of silver but of very poor quality.
The touchstone/acid test showed that the silver content is much lower than .750 (the lowest I had).
The Archimedes law says that the silver content is around .410 provided that it is indeed an alloy of silver and copper.
