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.


I once mentioned to someone from the assay office in Birmingham that I was
thinking of importing some silver jewellery from Italy and if the marks were
consistent and legal in the UK.

I've never seen anyone from the assay office cry before...

Italian marks are best described as 'of variable quality'.
