Can anyone ID the Korean marks? The ducks are about 170 grams each.

Translating exactly, symbol by symbol, from Hangul to English:
순 = "pure"
은 = "silver"
순은 = "pure silver
That's the full extent of the info contained therein.
This mark really ought to appear under "Korea" in the "World Marks" front page.

You are very welcome.
Ducks are a traditional Korean wedding gift, as they are thought to mate for life. Nice to see this pair is still together.
Cheers
