Gold can be real even if it's not marked. Also, some items can not be real even if hallmarked 14 k, 10 k, etc. If there's money to be made, some people will try to dupe you out of it. If buying jewelry, and to a much lesser degree some bullion related coins, buyer beware. Note the quality and clarity of the hallmark. Gold testers are available but you must understand what you are doing ? Good luck and be careful.
