        You scared me for a while there ddoering. I thought you had started to collect those all solid ones, made of lead and old spoons

        Cheers.

          My early 57 with magnetic center weighs 26.4 grams.
          Height and width are exactly the same as Peters' cross.

                Hi Don

                Funny, you mention that your 57 is marked 925. As I'm sure you
                already know, that is the mark for British sterling. I've heard of some
                of these marked that way. I wonder now, if some of these 57s' are
                also made in England.

                If I am to understand correctly, the early 57s were made in 800 silver
                and also in silver plated nickel. The latter were not marked at all.
                Some info. on these is in Gordons' new book but I'm sure more info.
                will come to light.
