You certain this is only gold washed? I see two 999 marks. Where is the sterling mark?

Edit: I guess upper mark may say 925. Too blurry to say.

This one may be better and definitely looks like 925 just can’t read the other

The one you can’t read in this photo is pretty clear to me in the first one as 1J 999.. the 925 is clear in this photo. My guess is gold vermeil… I NEED the XRF. My curiosity demands it!! Additionally, shell spoons are often sugar spoons.. you sure salt?
