It consists of four convex silver links. Each link has 3 graduated silver balls placed in the center channel of the link. . The clasp is a tongue and box closure that works perfectly. Size: the inside circumference when closed is 7-1/2", width is 1-1/4", and the weight is 44 grams. Superior condition. Hallmarks include: "HECHO EN MEXICO, DF, FARFAN, 925" on the box portion of the clasp and ""STERLING, 925" on the tongue portion of the clasp. FarFan and this identical hallmark (photo P-90) It appears in Bille Hougart's book, Page 151, The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks (2006 edition) Mr. Hougart indicates that FarFan used the Eagle assay marks 1 and 13 ~ this piece does not have an Eagle assay mark so it was most likely made prior to 1948. | ||
