Argentium, however, is a proprietary alloy. You buy it. You're not
supposed to infringe on the patent holders alloy recipe, and they
don't sell it as a "master" alloy to which you'd add silver. No doubt
they'd trade you fine silver for argentium, if you deal with a metals
dealer who also buys metal as well as selling it, as most do...



Peter, an information on whether the specific alloy used in 'Argentium'
is or can be patented, copyrighted, trademarked other than if used in
conjuction with the trademarked name Argentium?
