Hi friends!

Just bougth a super cool ring in a Swedish Auction and after cleaning of layers of dirt I found a stamp, unfortunatelly it’s a partial but hoping someone might come to my assistance :slight_smile: I believe it says 925 for silver, possibly ALA, ALP or ALR and possibly K8 but it’s really hard to read. Has anyone seen a stamp like this before? Please get in touch :slight_smile:

Sunny regards from Sweden
Nina

“NS ALP” (and often “Prima NS ALP”) is a designation used primarily in Scandinavia for silver-plated items made of nickel silver (alpaca), rather than solid silver. This means that these items are made of copper, nickel, and zinc, then covered with a thin layer of silver.
