950 Platinum or Palladium???

[tnt-k9]

I found an average sized band this morning. The mark on the inside is "BBROS 950". There is what appears to be a hallmark after the numerals but I couldn't make it out.

The ring weighed in at 6 grams which I though was a little light but I have seen similar weights on rings posted here that were Plat.

Any ideas

I would think it is 950 (95%) silver, here's a link with some info on BBROS:
Bbros inc Jaipur India, Manufacturers Exporters & Suppliers

Ive never seen or heard of Silver being Marked 950 without having "Sterling" on it was well. Most Platinum rings are marked PT900, or PT950, or just the numbers, in your case 950

Test it for sure, its worth the 12 bucks for a testing kit

Post a Pic of it if you can

I believe it's platinum; like this one's markings: (read description)

These obscure companies don't all go by US or European standards, look up 950 silver. All we have to go by is what the OP described, not even a P on platinum more precious than gold is suspect.

Really would like to see the hallmark..there are a few B Brothers jewelry companies, but Ive yet to come across one that is made of Silver

Well apparently BBROS is sitll in business and still marking their products poorly.

I found a men's wedding band style ring today whilst metal detecting.the hallmarks read..B Bros then 950 within a set of scales followed by 950 again and finally a leopards head and it weighs 10.5 grams...would this be from this company

If this IS the same hallmark...the Company is based out of London....I would think they would go by European standards

I try not to assume, the evidence is clearly in this thread and in the link that I posted where there are 6 threads with topics seeking what is it with BBROS markings.
You assumed that I was just running off on the keyboard.

You may have solved this mystery, but if not, here's some info I found today after finding a similar ring. Look at the border around the 950. If it looks like a house, it's platinum, but if it looks like a flat-topped pyramid or 3 interlocking circles, it's palladium. https://theassayoffice.co.uk/help-with-hallmarks/anatomy-of-a-hallmark
Mine is palladium.
