Hi Jim,

    Not knowing the legality in the US I could be wrong. You could maybe
    make your own stamps. Something like MK1, MK2 etc with an explanation
    attached of your codings.  MK1 being a silver copper Mokume and so
    on. Not so much on percentage of each alloy used but just the types.
    Maybe you could lobby the Government to form a federation for mixed
    metals, where members have to stick to strict rules to use the
    federation's stamp. This would have to be based on types of metal
    used rather than percentages used ie:- 18ct/ copper. I can see this
    would be fraught with difficulties but it is just a seed of a
    thought. 

    Chris
