  -> Dziękuję.:) Przy okazji, "hallmark" to cecha (czyli stempel), nie próba (czyli zawartosć czystego kruszcu). Natomiast tu o "assay": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallurgical_assay (w kontekście wyrobów jubilerskich jest to analiza probiercza).

lower grade of silver


Explanation:
Low millesimal fineness.
But in this case: silver items with a lower grade of silver, I'd say just so.

agree  George BuLah (X): jasne, że - low-assay silver

  -> z hyphen lepiej, dziękuję

neutral  Andrzej Mierzejewski: Zdaje się, że tylko w kontekście rafinacji srebra: http://www.labnews.co.uk/features/a-shining-example . Na etapie wyrobów jubilerskich chyba jednak "low grade".
11 hrs
  -> Pewnie bliżej produktu wyjściowego, ale ... (see my box)/Niskiej próby, tj. małowartościowe (low grade) - agree. Ale jeśli to próba (a hallmark), to IMO jednak assay (Assay Offices, Assay Assured etc. w kontekście wyrobów jubilerskich)

neutral  *Alena*: True, low-assay is normally when talking about the content of silver (or any other metal) in an ore, not for pieces of jewelry
