Thanks Al, I have always liked the Mexican silver. Glad it's the real thing. Sally

The 925 (OR .9250) indicates the Government of Mexico's official approval of the assay value of the silver at 925/1000,or .925 pure silver, and .075 of allowing constituents (There is no karat designation for silver purity, to my knowledge). I believe you can trust Mexican Silver! Indonesia makes Banka Tin silver (constituents unknown) , and of course Germany makes GERMAN SILVER which consists of an alloy of nickel and copper! Sterling silver is a new kettle of fish! Apparently, it is also 925 fine. The Europeans also made some peices of 800 fine silver.
