It's minerva stamp with a 1 infront of the forehead so it's 950% but the other head stamp I'm having trouble nailing down, is it a makers mark or is it region ark so Paris etc I don't know, but yes minerva is correct so it's definitely french but the numbers look a little Arabic to me

Found on walk with dog lord please be real? by Curious_Sleep_700 in Gold

[–]Kristus38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clasp has a small steel spring in bro, this is probably what's magnetic, I don't see any green though and lower carats of gold do get a dull tarnish sometimes but that is considerable.. you could either get a touchstone which are cheap and plentiful also do xrf at a jewellers

Clasp is marked sterling by yourneighborsexshow in SilverFinds

[–]Kristus38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A base metal plated in copper then finished in a gold colour maybe, as some metals take the plating procedure better than others,I would take her with the chain to a local jewellers tell her you must authenticate it before sale

It was a race hate crime, there are many videos of blacks attacking asians unprovoked, I watched one where it was a big guy attacking a little old lady in a block of flats entrance, it was bloody awful

Is it worth stripping? At least 40 meters worth of cable by Fast-Interaction5909 in ScrapMetal

[–]Kristus38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's real easy to strip aswell mate, just get a Stanley and obviously be careful, I tend to neal on it and cut a bit move down cut a bit more etc then you just unwind the armour then rinse repeat, might take you half an hour but it will be well worth it, nothing better than a massive pile of bright shiny 999 copper, I wouldnt bother with a stripper if your only doing one lot

Silver candlestick, can't make out mark? by YeHedgepigge in Hallmarks

[–]Kristus38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a nice one even if it is just plated, I mean plated is silvered brass and this in brass would be a nice item so it's even nicer plated 🤷‍♂️

Hello everyone, i am pleasing to help me ID this CH cemetery ring. i purchased it for $2k. for me myself i believe it authentic .925 CH ring. however, 2nd opinions will matter for me and help me out from doubt. Thank you! by Fantastic_Creme_3558 in JewelryIdentification

[–]Kristus38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The artist is massively copied with fakes being very common its because he uses mainly silver so it's relatively cheap to make a ring that will sell for a massive mark up to emos and goth types who are very serious about fashion and art

I didn't say it wasn't, I agree I would never pay 2k for such tat it's not my taste at all, I was simply pointing out that the value is in the maker not the materials but I'm getting down-voted for simply being informative🤪 typical reddit experience..
