Hi A.G.

The mamas question is a little bit new for me. I searched by google and in this forum without a result ( till now) what alloy-content I have to expect. Will be very interesting to learn something to use for my own knives.

I have some pieces in my collection with some parts of yellowish alloy, bright color like german silver but brighter, but that looks different.

I have some silver in my collection and my feeling was „polishes like silver“ and the cleaning rag with the polish looks black like the same. But proof is better than feeling and to be honest, I wanted to expect silver lol

I will go to a jeweler to proof.
