Any idea?

Could it be Hanau pseudo-marks?

Hello Neurorocker,

I will try to make my contribution!

In order:

-photo 2: goldsmith not found
- photo 3: an ear; punch of average census for Paris, 1809
- photo 4: a rooster turned to the right and looking to the left; title punch .950, Paris, 1798-1809
- photo 5: punch of large guarantee, Paris ...

I forgot: each piece of cutlery is punched with the french "crab".

Hello,

I present to you today solid silver cutlery from France, 18th century.

I don't know much about 18th century punches, but in theory I should at least find on the handle of each place ...

Hello AG2012,

and thank you for this valuable information!

I missed this subject, which is very rich in information both general concerning Iranian silver securities (like many I started with an interpretation of 84 as equivalent to 84 Russian zolotnik) but also about my wine service.

I will ...

Hello MG money and thank you for your contribution.

Concerning the von Bülow family, I was thinking of Karl because of his function in the Prussian army and in relation to his aesthetic a little more "fat" than Bernhardt. Besides, the "Delenda est Roma" made me think more of a sort of "bloodthirsty ...

Hello everyone!

I present to you a Birmingham English sterling silver cigarette case.

According to the hallmarks, it is dated 1912. The silversmith seems to be Charles Edwin Turner (C.E.T).
The last letter T is almost erased but I can make out the tip.

Hi AG,

I had a doubt for the brand 84 but neither the goldsmith's hallmark nor the one including the 84 made me think of a French silver plate hallmark.

Thank you for this track!

Hello everybody!

Here is a teapot whose style reminds me of British but nothing sure ...

Looking at the hallmark (8, cat's head / lyon, 4), I don't get better ... Anyone have an idea?

Thanks for your help!

Thank you for those precisions! We can link the period indicated by Ubaranda (1960-1970) with the method describes by Dognose (as electrospark process seems to start in 1954)!

A great example of social/historical approach combinated to a technical approach!

Well done!

Looking on my side, I found pictures of Qajar items whith designs close to my set: could it be a lead to explore?

Thank you for the answer as well as the excellent illustration! We could not find better! I suspected it was a tea strainer but I found it quite original so I was not sure!

One more thing Ubaranda as you're also owner of the same object: what would be the period? Soviet hallmark means after 1958 ...

Hello everyone,

today I propose a Soviet object (after 1958) in silver 875, Moscow. My problem is? what is this object for?

The ball above rests on 2 rods roughly welded on each side. To note, it includes a punch 875 which does not seem Soviet ...

I think that the rods and the ball were added ...

Peter is right!

Under 92,5 a punch is ''OMAN''!

Hi Legrandmogol!

Thanks for tout help!

My opinion is AG2012 already gives you the good answer. The bigorne is the Scarabéa. But as said by Traintime, if a doubt is still remaining, please just confim that this ''special'' mark is exactly positionned on the other side on the Minerva and the matter will be solved...
