"925" means it is sterling silver or a 92.5% purity of silver. NF is a hallmark of the silversmith. I am trying to find nf now. I will post when I find it.

From LCsocal: I am not sure that is correct, otherwise NF would be the busiest man in Thailand. I believe the "NF" indicates "nickel filled" with sterling silver plating. This would be consistent with the hallmark GF 14K, which means gold filled--an alloy of some sort with 14K plating. You'll note that the silver pieces from Thailand with the NF 925 hallmark are usually exceptionally well priced and this explains why.

I am certain that the NF stands for nickel free as there are many who are not able to have nickel in there jewelry as they are allergic to it, and as the sliver has alloys added to it, the other .75 of the 9.25 as it is a make up of other metals to make it hard and useable for things like jewelry.
