you can get the acid test kits for silver as well, but I believe, most charms might be silver, as their content isn't that much to make using silver expensive, and you can usually tell the difference between silver and most other silver colored metals

Looks like it from the pics.
Mark could have worn off if it is a charm.

Looks like silver to me!!!

Does it seem to be heavier than it should for its size if it were cheap steel or plated junk? It does look silver to me as well. One thing. Was it found in the dirt or on surface? If in dirt and it came out nice and clean and/or just needed dirt removed to be "clean" looking its most likely silver.

Looks like a stamp on the bottom, is there a color difference where the loop is? Got a loupe?
