You probably had a thought in your head- that it is simply
Silver + Nickel . Wrong!
Me and Andrew we digging an old stream during low tide during Easter weekend.
Andrew Got lucky with 6pence and a gold Ring, where all of my 2 shillings and a florin were just couple of years away from Silver Mint.
The story is about this spoon anyway :
It has a hallmark :
Nickel
silver Birmingham England
So I thought I got at least Silver plated spoon, but after
look up I found that :
Nickel silver, also known as German silver,[1]
Argentann,[1]
new silver,[1]
nickel brass,[2] albata,[3],
or alpacca,[4] is
a copper alloy with nickel and often zinc. The usual
formulation is 60% copper, 20% nickel and 20% zinc.[5]
Nickel silver is named for its silvery appearance, but it contains no elemental silver unless plated
So check your Silverware at home, you might have some of
that Nickel silver L
Have a good day .
