Anyone recognise this sculpture !,

I would not be surprised if it was a lower grade continental silver somewhere between 800 and 850. From the pictures it has the "look" of low grade silver, in my opinion anyway.

I will try and find my silver book, as the mark you talk of sounds like it could be a continental silver mark, does the carp have any numbers/numerals on it?

Anything like the "Dolphin" mark here http://www.925-1000.com/Fnetherlands_Date_Code.html ?

P.S. Misplaced my silver book. . .

Any chane of a close up picture of the mark please?

Definately nothing like the Dolphin mark, a fish, a carp, yes.

I agree that it is probably low grade silver, but pretty well made and a nice subject for it to be nothing !.

Will post a close-up soon. Thank you ;-)

By low grade I just mean less than 925 (standard British silver quality) parts of silver to every 1000.

Come now Potty, it's obvious you're suffering 'Sterling Snobbery'.

I have a 800 grade silver kangaroo that I'd not part with and is really well made, so no worries there

I actually don’t like a lot of the newer jewelry in 925 that seems to come from Italy and Spain, I don’t know if / why the silver is different but seems to be a lesser quality. I guess it is to do with what the other 75 is made from?

Wouldn't it more likely be South American silver if it's a llama/alpaca at work sculpture?
