Explanation:
German Silver has a history of fraudulent uses. So it may be difficult to directly differentiate. But some difference in properties are:
German Silver is hard, while Genuine Silver is soft. You may not want to damage anything, but this is one way to distinguish.
The difference in their densities is huge. Whenever you lift a genuine silver object, you will feel it heavier than you had intuitively expected. This happens less in case of German Silver.
German Silver's electric resistivity is very high as compared to genuine silver, the best conductor of electricity.
Thermal conductivity of genuine silver is around 16 times greater than that of german silver. Generally, the room temperature is lesser than our body temperature. Metals, being good conductors appear cooler than any other material, though at same temperature. So whenever you touch genuine silver it will seem to be very cool while it is 16 times less in the case of german silver (it will be just slightly lesser than steel) .
