Title: Bracelet Buzzin' ;)
Post by: flipper on June 26, 2009, 12:11:52 AM
Hi Guys...I Found this beautiful bracelet today on a new field... my heart nearly stopped. :o  the only marking i can see is the (800) thats in the pic... the bracelet has been turned inside out to show these markings... the other side is a little less detailed (quite plain/flat)

Its near enough as shiny in the photograph as when it came out of pasture @ 5"... the fields hadnt been ploughed for over 35 yrs and were potatoes before that...but i am still unsure of its age ???

i also found a brooch and something else i cant identify ???.... if anybody would know of any links or info on clasps-fastenings and perhaps how to date them...that would be cool.... Thanks in advance...'buzzin and extremely tired ...flip :P

well done flipper i like the siver bracelet ,i found a silver item which had the same 8oo stamp on it ,the guys n the forum id it as the back of a pocket watch ,i wonder if the minting of this standard of silver is specific to any period.

Nice find flipper and hope many more come your way , unless you can find another mark on the bracelet I am afraid you need to pin down the style and design to aid i.d.

Many European countries mark silver and gold with numerical fineness marks in thousandths, e.g., 800, 830, 900, 935, etc. for silver, 333, 500, 585, 750, 875, etc. for gold. Other symbols may be used in combination with these numbers.
