echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/16/2011 4:54 pm It's a Japanese Cho Gin and is .4600 silver Krause C#9a circa 1736-1818. It appears real, but would need to see it first hand to tell for sure. I'd grade it at VF, listed at $500 in that condition. Report this Post to the Staff
