<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1278855, member: 22143&quot;]I&#039;ll add to what was stated above that real silverware will always have a stamp on it indicating that it is made from silver and not plate.&nbsp; Another caution.&nbsp; Pieces with large handles may be filled with plaster or cement called weighted silver.&nbsp; Other pieces that are subject to this kind of treatment are candle sticks, large handles on serving dishes, legs, bases, and so forth.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you are buying for bullion value, you need to take this into account not only because of the weight calculation but also because&nbsp; refiners often won&#039;t take this stuff until it&#039;s been cut up and filler removed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
