Hi, I have no references in regard of retailing business and trade between Vienna silversmiths, so we can only speculate. Sometimes we depend on logic, like in this case: http://925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=28963&p=138023&hilit=a+bachruch#p138023 Far more likely a firm from Bu...

Hi, Welcome to the forum. Satostegui (San Sebastian), still in business at Urbieta 60, was founded in 1925.

HI, My final post regarding superb Moscow silversmith at the end of 18th century, the fragment of a chalice maid in 1795.

Hi, Tiffany & Co. has 7 shops (retailers) in London. The London Assay Office is a reliable institution, probably no sponsor`s mark was required if the item was brought to be assayed by one of Tiffany & Co branches. So, I suppose, it`s genuine Tiffany. The place of manufacture is another issu...

Hi,
The trophy was awarded by DMV - German Motorbiker Association ("Deutsche Motorradfahrer-Vereinigung") founded 1903 and renamed to ADAC in 1911.
