    Sorry... 

    There is no actual silver content in nickel silver. 

    Nickel silver is an alloy of copper, nickel, and sometimes zinc. 

    The word silver is used in the name only to describe the color of
    the metal... 

    Or maybe to confuse customers, and get them to pay more for it. 

    type  AT  you later...
