new law
Due to a new law just passed. Solid silver items with no hall mark can now, if the item was produced before 1950 legally be described as silver instead of white metal. Same law applies to gold. Army-vet.

Sorry if I am being thick but if an item has no hall mark, how do you know if it was made before 1950 .

Probably the same way you can claim ivory or tortoise shell is pre something or other, you just say it is and someone has to prove otherwise if they disagree.
