Questions & Comments
Do you know what the German Silver means? Is there .925 or .800 stamped on it anywhere? Thanks....
On the back it is marked: Rockmount, Denver, Colorado - Nickel Silver On the internet here is the explanation for German Silver - no .925 or .800 stamped.
German silver is the name for various alloys of copper, zinc, and nickel, sometimes also containing lead and tin. They were originally named for their silver-white color, but use of the term silver is now prohibited for alloys not containing that metal. German silver varies in composition, the percentage of the three elements ranging approximately as follows: copper, from 50% to 61.6%; zinc, from 19% to 17.2%; nickel, from 30% to 21.1%. The proportions are always specified in commercial alloys. German silver is extensively used because of its hardness, toughness, and resistance to corrosion
