<<A Fine and Rare Gold Esther Scroll Case. Gold Judaica is most uncommon.>> Accompanying this lot is documentation (dated August 2010) provided by the Senior Assayer of The Goldsmith’s Company Assay Office in London. The megillah-case was analyzed by Fire Assay Cupellation in order to ascertain the gold content. Two samples, free from solder contamination, were taken from the main body and end caps of the case and then analyzed for gold content. The gold results obtained were 75.25% and 75.06% respectively. This equates to a standard of 18 carat gold. The balance of the alloy was found to be approximately 16% silver and 9% copper.
