Hi ,
         Even with pewter that may contain a very small amount of lead an x-ray should outline the remaining glass under the pewter ,this would indicate if the screw top was added as a repair or as an afterthought by someone,I have found it very usefull a couple of times when faced with the same decision.
  cheers ,
