Egyptian marks: Snake Bracelet

Post by themichaelfrank »

Hi all,

I found a site that seems to match these as Egyptian hallmarks, but marks on this didn't seem to match a sequence that made sense to me matching to the bracelet. Hoping someone who might be familiar Egyptian stuff might be able to interpret that middle square that didn't stamp as cleanly.

Any help appreciated. Cheers, Michael

From top:
1.Mark upside down (two dots should be on top) is for Cairo.
2.80 (Arabic numeral 8 looks like inverted V and dot for 0) is fineness .800
3. Egypt official mark (lotus flower ) used since 1946.
4. Year 1968 - 1974 (the same was used 1965 - 1967 but without dot). Position of dots was often written inconsistently, but I think there is a dot on the left in year mark. Later year marks are of completely different shape.
