As I said, it's an old and widely spread symbol, on that we agree! But I don't agree that the crown, orb and sceptre are unique to Montenegro, look at the Russian coat of arms for instance (although the eagle heads also have crowns there), or the old Austrian coat of arms. If I should be really pick...

With only the two-headed eagle and those marks, I’m sorry to say that I think it will be almost impossible to establish the country of origin or date it properly. The two-headed eagle is an old and widely spread symbol usually associated with the Byzantine Empire that has been used in large parts of...

Almost right, but it's a bit more complicated because of the way Swedac write things. They start with the last name, (Svensson Anders instead of Anders Svensson, for instance) which is fine when it is just a single name, but in cases like this, it gets a bit mixed up. The founder of this company was...

I understand that Hose is exited, but I'm afraid I have to disagree. It is true that different cities had their own date marks prior to 1759, but the cat’s paw (kattfoten) was implemented in 1754, and the only time, as I see it, you would find both the cat’s paw and a local date mark is between thes...

I agree with Bahner, not Swedish but imported to Sweden. The explanation of the missing S is that it must have been imported before 1913 when the S was implemented. Had it been Swedish, it would have a full set of marks like you can see on the Swedish page here. Also, if it had been imported after 1...

Your beaker was made in Sweden, in Gothenburg, by the company CA KjernÃ¥s, but, unfortunately, it’s not silver. NS stands for nickel silver, which is also silver plated. 216 is most likely a pattern number. I’m not sure when the company was founded, but at least before 1905, and it was active until ...

Re: Swedish silver by GAB ; help ?
Signed GAB, catfoot, "S" for Sweden, St Erik for Stokholm D8 for 1930 On object hallmarked after 1913, you find the letter S in addition to the "cat's paw", but it does not stand for Sweden (which instead the three crowns in the cat's paw does), but for silver. Likewise, platinu...

Polish maker PW, Warsaw
I have a Polish ring, assayed in Warsaw with what I assume is a maker's mark PW in an oval frame. The ring has a large silver ball fastened with claws and looks like it was made in the 60s or 70s. I hope that someone can help me identify this maker.
