maja Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Hello collectorsis there anybody, who has an EK 2 marked with "1000" in the ring? maja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregM Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 1000 silver would indecate that the cross was made of pure silver. I really doubt that therewere any "pure" silver crosses made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriztofer Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I agree Greg, Unless it was a purely decorative, one off private custom purchase. Although I wouldn't mind having one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Tezer Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as 1000 silver content. Pure silver is considered to be 999 fine, and the only thing I have ever heard of being made in pure silver was silver bullion. For any practical use, nobody would use 999 silver, so I suspect that this marking must mean something other than the silver content.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe campbell Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 from a structural standpoint, wouldn't pure silver be ratherimpractical and soft?joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
