Message: [QUOTE="Barnaby, post: 450559, member: 180861"] Hello, new poster here. I made this account since I recently got some silverware that was on the Olympic (actually "Titanic Interest" which makes it more suspicious) from Ebay and I am wondering if its fake. [ATTACH=full]77796[/ATTACH] I read Purser Locker's awesome guide, and it seems to me that this company etched below doesn't seem to be a major supplier to White Star Line. [ATTACH=full]77797[/ATTACH] The company shown as L & W ⚓ EP is Lee and Wigfull according to [URL='http://www.silvercollection.it/electroplatesilverKLdue.html#STAD']here[/URL], and doesn't match any other company listed in Purser Locker's guide. Also to note in one of its advertisements it mentions using Britannica Metal, which is a no no according to the mentioned guide. The flag is also acid etched, which seems to be contradictory to what other people say. I want to know what the experts here think, if its a legitimate White Star Line silverware or some fake reproduction. Barnaby [/QUOTE]
