I am looking at Parker 51 sterling silver caps on ebay, and I have noticed that there are many Parker 51's that are listed as rolled silver or gold. I am not sure what rolled means or the level of silver or gold content, and was hoping if an FPNer knew?
Thanks!

AFAIK: "rolled gold" means the same as "gold filled", the former term being used mainly on the European side of the Atlantic, and the latter on the US/Canada side of the pond.

Interesting. I've always wondered that myself...
