Re: Concertina Argentium 935 Cigarette Case NEED HELP INDENTIFYING HALLMARK & ORIGIN

It’s possible that one of the longer-lived German makers could have effected a change of marks. And the large “G” might also represent Gebruder for a firm of brothers. Nothing in the listed German marks under “G” or “k” seemed to be an exact match.

Re: Concertina Argentium 935 Cigarette Case NEED HELP INDENTIFYING HALLMARK & ORIGIN

Just to be clear…technically there is no “hallmark” found here. That is to say, no authorized authority seems to be regulating the application of marks related to a fineness standard. More like self regulation by the maker. Mark 1 is likely just a maker mark of initials. It is incuse gothic letters ...

Re: Please help identify

And of course, that’s only a wild guess at this point lacking many images and not exactly matching descriptions like rectangular surrounds. So this could be way off still.

Marks relate (?) to Spanish .750 with “Comet” for second standard rather than the “Shooting Star” of first fineness:

Re: Old Sheffield Plate Cake Stand Unknown Maker

Cleaning up mark 2 would be helpful here. The location of where the stand surfaced might tell a lot as a SHEFFIELD stamp can either be an export/import mark before actual country of origin was required, or it might be part of the larger scam that was carried on by American manufacturers to give fals...

Re: Uknown mark on tea pot

Back to square 1….Why would the crown be sideways? Why does the crown seem to have pips rather than sections in the lower half? Could it be that this is not a crown at all? This leads to… Is that first mark even a crescent, or could it be a partial of something else? Further, If a shield contained t...
