A quick internet search reveals everything about this fantastic,
nearly worthless metal. It has many aliases from gunmetal to nickelsilver to
alpacca to anything that doesn't have any silver in it. No silver in it at all, to repeat, 0% silver.
I'd provide links but those believing otherwise will
think it's a conspiracy even though every page in an internet search says it
is silver-free.
Like worthless silverplated junk with an abundance of hallmarks,
German Silver is designed to fool ignorant, clueless people
that don't have the common sense of an average kindergartner
to research it.
Obviously they think that because it contains the word silver
it must be silver.
German Silver is an open-and-shut case but
by no means is this situation unique.
OK, so they are idiots for not researching it initially, no arguing that fact.
Wouldn't a functionally intelligent person
look into it further when they are informed that German Silver is worthless junk metal
instead of spouting off like an ignoramus?
The silver standard in Germany has been 0.800, 0.935, and a host of others between those
two. Items composed of these legitimate silver alloys have
additional hallmarks identifying them as such (usually a crescent moon and a crown, sometimes with
a maker's mark).
Real silver items from any country never, ever, never, ever have "German Silver"
stamped on them!
One etsy seller in particular disagreed. I explained the German Silver thing
yet they were still adamant. Stating that she is 100% correct about everything
in her listing and subsequent emails - she even claimed to thoroughly research it after my email - she
refuses to believe the facts.
Search for items with "German Silver" on any
selling platform and see the scams for yourself. For amusement, try emailing the liars and watch the fireworks.
Few will admit/realize their """honest"""
""""mistake"""" and change. The real gems will
argue incessantly and violently no matter the evidence.
People don't like to be wrong and don't like when others point it out. Eating a
slice of humble pie ain't on the menu. To preserve their
opinion of themselves as honest, responsible people they
will defend their position tirelessly. Defend what? Their complete
disregard for reality?
Some people shouldn't be allowed
to interact with the masses or sell anything. Can't they be confined to a secluded
island devoid of outside contact among equally nonsensical,
cognitively deprived individuals? Their echo chamber would reverberate around the world.
Maybe send them to outer space instead where sound doesn't travel...without spacesuits?
If facts were easy to digest we'd solve nearly all the world's problems. If egos weren't so fragile
and unstable we'd have virtually no wars or conflict. If people shut their piehole when they
don't have a clue what they're talking about, don't have anything important to say,
or are caught in bold-faced lies
there'd be no social media. But that won't happen anytime soon.
