I know .800 silver (.835?) is mostly if not all from Europe, an the time period seems right for that purity as well. I think your research is spot on, but I could be wrong, we shall see what others think....
If it is indeed .835, still would not surprise me being German silver and perhaps not that odd of a purity for the early part of last century....
As far as the mesh only testing good, would most likely mean they used based metals for the other part of the purse I would have to assume after the results of that yellow acid test....
