First the word KRELSHANDWERKERSCHAFTEN: I presume that there is a misreading and it should be KREISHANDWERKERSCHAFTEN. Second the place Koin: Sounds odd, I guess that it should be Köln (Cologne). I suggest that you check the inscription again. If my guesses are right the inscription means: To our district master craftsman Fritz Roding at his jubilee birthday 50 presented by the craft guilds of Cologne city & district Such a gift must be made in silver and I think you can handle/clean it as such. Hope this helps Gunnar ____________________________ Original question: /snip/ On the underside, there's wording that I don't understand. Here it is: Unserm Landeshandwerksmeister Fritz Roding Zum Jubelgeburtstag 50 GEWIDMET vd KRELSHANDWERKERSCHAFTEN Koin Stadt & Land I'm not sure if it's silver but there are little black spots collecting on it. How do I clean it? /snip/ -- --------------------- Gunnar Wenngren Söreboda SE 590 52 Nykil Sweden Phone home: +46 13 33 30 48 Phone office: +46 13 37 81 86 Mobile: +46 709 27 74 66 Email: gunwe@foi.se
