What I and the original poster want to know is "Is it really silver". Whereas the question of "legitimate hallmark" speaks to the letter of the law, VV's answer was spot on as to the spirit of the question; Are these items real Silver or fakes (see: not AG)? It wasn't until Eagle...

Just my two cents, but has anyone thought about:

J P V

Or

J R V

There certainly appears to be a 'J' at the beginning of the mark. True it's mostly eaten up by the 'R' or 'P' but I've seen than in a great number of marker's marks.

Lovely, lovely piece.
