JapanX Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 So why such strange non-japanese fitting? The only explanation that we have for today can be found in Gordon book This short note Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Typical japanese silver marks So now this strange american STERLING mark. To tell you the truth chaps I've never seen these ordinances from 1928 and 1956. The mark was in use for a long time (even after the end of WWII). The only thing I know for a fact is what actual marks were used by japanese mint and private workshops during 1910-1945. No STERLING around ;) Edited March 3, 2013 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
