Hey everyone, I came across these marks awhile ago and no amount of research gave me clear answers. So I bought a 10k spg yellow gold frame and a 14k spg white gold frame to have processed by elemetal. The 14k one only the bridge was 14k the rest was goldfill and the 10k one the arms were goldfill. Both items were slightly magnetic.

I messed up a little I forgot to get pictures and individual weights. I also had them processed together. They found a thin steel wire going through the center of the bridge on both items.
Copper 39%, nickel 23%, silver 6%, zinc 4%, and gold 28%! Total weight at this point was 3g.

I'm assuming some portion of the 10k frame was also goldfill with how low the purity averaged.
