Stamped 10/DGF?

Found a pendant today stamped 10/DGF.....My ATPRO vdi'd it at 81-82-83.......is gold plated?:confused:
 
"Double Gold Filled" which is different than gold plating because it is heat bonded to a flat sheet of core metal such as copper then stamped into the shape of the pendant.

Double Gold-Filled (1/5 10K) is a layer of 10 Karat Gold bonded to both the front and back of a metal core.

Single Gold-Filled (1/10 10K) is a single layer of 10 Karat Gold bonded to the front of another metal.

Since your pendant is DGF, as apposed to SGF, it should appear to be gold on the inside as well. If it were SGF it would show the base metal when opened on the inside.
