Craig, I emplore you to see what silver marking is. They will always be punched in. If they are but makers marks they can be cast into the designe, if this be the case they will stand proud of the designe. When you are next here, I will take you to see the Master of Goldsmith hall. These marks are not correct. Thus as much as you or Bobby MCgEE WANT THEM TO HAVE SOME VALIDITY, PLEASE DO DOT FALL FOR CANUTASISUM.
