Condition Report
Items show general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing.
Resin teething rings and mother-of-pearl handles appear quite dirty.
Seated cats show some compression to various areas.
Hallmarks are generally clear and legible.
Unmarked example tests around 90% Ag. Fellows uses a Thermo Scientific Nitron Handheld XRF Analyser to test metals. This technology is limited to examining metal to a depth of approximately 8 microns.
Fellows does not guarantee the standard of silver, gold or platinum unless an item is hallmarked. Results from electronically tested items should only be used as a guide and with caution, as false readings are possible.
Condition reports are offered as a guide only and we highly recommend inspecting any lot to satisfy yourself as to its condition.
