Arabic hallmarks on silver box

Post by niceguy1 »

Hello

I have this Arabic silver box with these 2 hallmarks. I imagine its Persian or Turkish, can anybody read it?

Thanks in advance.

This is certainly Persian box. The silver fineness is 84 zolotniki (=875/1000). Town is most likely Isfahan.

Thanks for that. Any chance you can translate the makers mark?

I think there isn't maker's mark on this box. At the third image the small lower mark is the silver fineness 84 and the big upper mark is the town mark.
