From what I know 925 is a sterling silver number

well thats what i thought to till i acid tested it i droped the silver acid on it a nothing not the slightest bit red so i tested it with platnium acid it disolved a little then turned the streak a bronze/golden color anyone know what this means?

Not considering the acid test results. the markings are plainly for modern Italian sterling.

...or it is a base metal pretending to be silver...

could the P stand for plating? but would it really be worth plating a small item like this? i just redid the acid test and it did the same thing for silver no reaction then i put the platinum acid on it and it turns bronze
