Hi, everyone.

Would someone please inform me what this "ALP ITALY" mark is? I searced the
Web a little and didn't find much, but I don't know the best sites to search
anyway.

I found the stamp on the back of some silver jewelry I bought at some recent
estate sales.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you ever so much.

Jenny



"ALP" may stand for "Alpacca", which is a common trade name for a nickel silver
alloy.
