Not 14kgp. Gold filled, HGE or EP, yes. Gold Filled is a fancy word to say the inside is not gold but a filler. HGE is Heavy Gold Electroplated and EP is Electroplated but 14kgp is a guarantee of 14k gold, not some estimate. Look it up. Don't take my word for it.


Ok......I looked it up.   Every reference I found says that 14kgp means 14 karat gold plated (i.e. non-au plated with 14 karat gold).    Time for another cup of coffee, GD.

BA, those are amateurs guessing. It doesn't mean gold plated. Look up gold hallmarks.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
