Re: Silver clasp from the 18th century
::::: We were just discussing the Kingdom Of Naples and this might be a very early mark from Naples (circa 1300-1690) because the earliest marks seem to only have NAPL or NAP (without a crown over the NAP or a year designation under the NAP) ::::: :::::::::: Naples had a silver Guild' that was was f...

Re: Skandinavian (?) beaker I.
:::: Would be interesting to see Master Marks with date beneath (from the book), I keep wondering if the "(ID 1700)" hallmark is actually over-stamped on top of another hallmark, but it could be that I am not seeing the Master Mark correctly, perhaps there is no over-stamping at all. ::::::

Re: Skandinavian (?) beaker I.
https://i.imgur.com/9vP9mZc.jpeg The City of Naestved, Denmark had an older Town Hallmark that has been described as a "Crowned NE" in the literature. Many of the smaller Danish cities had their own "Town Marks" while Copenhagen was using the "Three Tower Mark" that wa...

Re: Skandinavian (?) beaker I.
::::: If you found this object unmarked, without any hallmarks whatsoever, the details such as the cartouche, the font of the initials, and the foliate engraving design, and the tradition of wedding beakers with 2 sets of initials, all of this would lead you to believe this object is Scandinavian (l...

Re: Skandinavian (?) beaker I.

Re: Skandinavian (?) beaker I.
::::: I still do think this is Scandanavian, and this might be just a coincidence in which Scandinavian hallmarks are similar to the Kingdom Of Naples hallmarks circa 1690-1700, but the shape of those crowns really reminds me of silver hallmarks from the Kingdom Of Naples circa 1690-1700. ::::::: ::...

Re: A monstrance
::::: Brazil has sort of similar hallmarks, and often uses the number "10" so is it possible that the "9-1/2" denotes a slightly lesser silver fineness and the marks are somehow from Brazil? ::::::
