\"Amerikaner is the same as \"double\" and this was a process of double plating an item which was created during the Austrian Empire period (prior to 1865) and assured a lifetime glow.It was used because pure gold was becoming scarce due to fine metals needed for the war efforts throughout Europe.Around the time of the Civil War an American technique was created which was the same as the \"doo blay\" of Europe and it was then duplicated in Europe.The German and Austrian jewelry which utilized this technique had it stamped with the name \"Amerikaner\" and the \"A*D\" represented \"Auch\" (attention) \"Double\" (doo blay).This was to demonstrate that the item was a patented mark \"attention\" usually referred to the command for no duplication.Items created with this process basically were of 9kt or 333 to 375/1000 gold. They could be higher.Base material was silver with copper which allowed for the rose gold color.\"Double\" is an outstanding hallmark along with \"Amerikaner\" and holds 35/000 micro edition as upheld by the world gold standard.It ceased to be at the beginning of the First World War.
