    If you want to get technical about it, it is only legal to stamp
    multi metal pieces if you apply the stamps to the areas applicable
    to each stamp.  In other words you need to stamp the gold quality on
    the gold areas and silver on the silver areas platinum on platinum
    and so on. Also you must stamp your registered trademark next to
    each quality stamp.   The law is really not set up to deal with
    multi metal items other than gold fill  or electroplate which it has
    very specific guidelines for.
