Thank you Willem.

When I grow up, I'll get one of these in gold. I guess that the gold content must be that low in order to do the heat for the enamel work, and be sturdy enough for use.

Thanks for the additional info!

BTW, what are the amounts of the other metals utilized with this alloy?

Hi Willem
you are correct, the script use the Arabic alphabet, as well as
- Persian ... but unreadable for Arabs
- Ottoman ... but unreadable for Arabs
and I may continuous the list

like as Frenchy, I'm using the same alphabet than you Dutch, but not for the same language

have a nice evening
