::::: I'm inclined to think the tiny hallmarks are genuine and I'm leaning towards Portugal (but the pictures are difficult to decipher, it is very difficult to take photos of incredibly tiny hallmarks, and this might be a coincidence, but the gold rings I had that were from Portugal had the smallest hallmarks I had ever seen, you almost needed a microscope to see those hallmarks, a jeweler's loupe was not sufficient) :::::::

::::: If I came across this chain, I would lean towards genuine, the probability would fall in the favor of genuine. :::::: Did the gold test 18K or 14K ??> :: : :J:::

:::: I think I see a "fineness number" which might be "750" or it might be "585" so isn't it possible that this could be from Portugal or Austria? :::::
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: There might be a "bird" hallmark underneath the fineness number? :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I beg all your pardon. It is fake. The first scratch and acid test was ok, but i scratched more and clearly it's all gold plated.
So this is how fake marks look.
Sorry, and thank you for your time.
Best regards,
