I came into possession of a large hammered bowl with punched our holes and rolled rims. Its only mark i can see is a stamp of "Pure Silver £". Has anyone come across something like this before? As usual I am interested in origin & alloy. Thank you very much! https://i.postimg.cc/ZqjWk...

I should add I believe they are "Fish Knives".

Hi all, I came accross these very fancy hollow ware/flatware knives and forks. Engraved blades and tines, very ornate. Handles are light and feel hollow. I believe they are British but am not sure. The first hallmark looks like a lower case "r" or a hatchet. Then HBS and a Crown with EP be...

I couldn't find the marks here on the forum, but I saw Booth's mark on the Canadian Mark's page (he shared a shop with Munro). I am hoping someone can confirm the marks, and their quali...

Here are the direct links to the photos, maybe if you cut and paste them into your address bar it will work for you. They use the website.

I recently picked up this gravy boat style sterling Item, and have come to think the date has been double stamped; either a misfire on the first, or the maker changed the date of manufacture/duty paid.

Wow, you guys know your stuff!
Many thanks!

I recently acquired this French wine tasting cup. The hallmark looks like an 'E' and 'S' on either side of a mark (minerva head? or perhaps rooster's head?) with the letters 'Ste' above and what looks like 'TT' below. It is decorated on the handle with the "Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin&...
