Nothing.
That is, it's not proof of anything. It's trivial to engrave "18K" on a piece of brass and claim that it's 75% gold. In general, you shouldn't assume that any markings on a piece of jewelry have any meaning.
13K is an unusual purity value (they're nearly always even numbers), so I'd suggest that "13" is probably a size, if it means anything at all..
