new. could be Italian, Turkish or else with those lions. French is
highly doubtful because brass and copper are not known in France but as
a combination would point towards Germany.
MEPRA est une marque Italienne typique pour l'hotellerie et restaurants.
"inoxidable" et "marque déposé" pointe que c'était exporté vers la
France. 18/10 montre que c'est 18 % chrome et 8 % nickel.heavy-duty
hotelware mostly known in southern Europe....
JMHO. doesn't touch me as silver. evt. silverplated pewter or white
metal.depending on the testing device you could have a wrong result

the original surface is seen and test agai...
