ASCAS - Association of Small Collectors of Antique Silver is a free association between collectors and lovers of antique silver.

Our aim is to promote friendship between our members, to spread knowledge of antique silver items, their hallmarks and workmanship techniques.

The association hasn't any commercial interest and whatever advertising objective is banned by our pages.
ASCAS has a web site at http://www.silvercollection.it/silverassociation.html

The site is under construction, but the objective is to host articles supplied by members on arguments of common interest, useful links to websites related to silver and its hallmarks and to devote some pages to illustrate the most interesting pieces owned by our members (photos and a brief description will be sufficient, the page will be created by our staff).
Our invitation is addressed to all private collectors and keen lovers of antique silver. Professional dealers may join to ASCAS as collectors or for private interest on antique silver, but our website has no link with commercial firms or advertising objectives.

Membership is absolutely free, but the association reserves the right to evaluate the requests of admission of their members. The request may be addressed to silverassociation@yahoo.it with email containing the following informations:
- your name
- city and country (full address isn't necessary)
- email address (only if you are available to receive NON commercial communications strictly related to your membership)
