Get a good antique jewelry appraisal..make sure the guys are true 'experts'. Grill them.

Nice find.

There was some more stuff near it, check out the old buckle.
i hope its worth something, i traded a 8 hp honda moter for it.

I could be wrong but I don't think things in the 1700s were marked .925 were they?

It doesn't look as old now that i see the mark good..It could be .835 or .725 i haven't had any luck finding it hmmmmmmm.Take it to a dealer

This cross is probably not more than 30 years old. That is a 925 stamped on the back, along with the maker's hallmarks. As far as trading the honda motor for the buckle........I sure hope that the motor was not running, and was junk, because that buckle is not worth anything.
