• The cartouche soldered to the lid of this piece is made from a silver plated metal alloy.
• The cartouche soldered to the lid of this piece is not "silver colored".
• We don't know the exact precise composition of the various foreign silver metal alloys used to make this.
• We aren't metallurgists and we cannot ever be 100% certain about anything.
• Alloys are combinations of metals used for practical and artistic reasons such as durability.
• Using 100% of any metal might make the product entirely too soft to endure.
• The term "sterling" refers to a specific amount of silver in an alloy; specifically an alloy of silver that is 925 parts pure silver and 75 parts copper, thereby increasing the strength of the silver.
• We have no way to determine the specific precise amounts of the various metals comprising the alloys used to make these old foreign silver pieces.
• There is a substantial and requisite amount of silver content in their alloys but exactly how much silver, what percent of the alloy is silver, and what percent a combination of other metals, and of what other metals, we honestly can't guess.
• Magnets will stick to ferrous metals.
• Magnets attract to ferrous metals such as iron, nickel, cobalt, certain steels and other alloys.
• Brass, aluminum, copper, and most stainless steels, however, are non ferrous, and magnets are not attracted to them.
• For more information, please visit your nearest metallurgist, or geologist, or ask at your local library.
