To be silver or not to be silver?! Nice antique Persian piece - What do you think?

[DFW_THer]

Picked this thing up at auction tonight. Think I 'stole' it!!

Can't find "Khosrov" or lion with sickle anywhere! I can find 84, and I believe this is a Persian mark for .875 purity, the Russian standard.

Weight is exactly 700 grams.

What do you folks think?

Thanks,
Brad

I found the lion and scimitar mark. "reign of the last shaw" ?

We'll it's about $400 in silver so I hope you did steal it

Dig until your arm falls off
