G'day all

    Either I'm in the process of making a monumental fool of myself or
    many of the people who have responded to my assertions as to what
    legally may be called  Sterling silver are correct when they say "
    the only stipulation is that the alloy contain a minimum of 92.5%
    silver " - a situation which, if true, is ludicrous. 

    What we need now is some hard evidence one way or the other so I'd
    appreciate it if anyone out there can tell me which legislation
    covers the matter of precious metal Standards in: 

	1/ the U.K.
	2/ the European Community
	3/ the U.S.A.

    and where I might access it if it's available on the WWW. 

Thanks Al Heywood
