No official markings that I can find but the legs and handles are cast and soldered on and it has a tarnish like sterling. I cannot find any places where it has been polished through plating.

nice score.If I were you Id send it to scrapman1077http://www.realcent.org/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=10821

Do you hit it with a magnet? Scratch an inconspicuous part and look under magnification to see the color. A lot of stuff I have seen like that has been plated.

The last one that I received looked just like that and was a plated piece, the legs and handles were plated pewter. Check it as blackrabbit told you, get a piece of brass and compare the internal color.

I will do that. I did hit the cutout ring portion with a magnet and it did stick. It did not stick to the handles or legs so I will give it a little filing on the bottom of a leg to check. Perhaps a paid too much.

that looks like a plated piece to me.the cutout ring portion is likely plated brass

I've seen some very tempting pieces that I passed on because of no Sterling mark. Is there really unmarked Stirling out there?

I found a goblet that was for someones anniversary in 1991....

Unmarked and sterling...1.99 for a few oz's (don't have a scale large enough to weigh it haha)

How do you know that goblet is Sterling and not plated?

I believe that the piece you bought is silver plated....

Before you take a file and damage the piece, take a loupe, and look around all of the edges and rims.

Good luck, and I hope we are all wrong! Let us know the results!
