Anyone able to ID the marks on this silver box bought recently at a local auction. The right mark is Farsi 84 indicating .875, I thought it may be an Isfahan piece but can't match the marks. http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z475/15121990/silverforum/Persian%20Box/th_Image1_zps6pijeozo.jpg http://...

Hi Oel,

I see it now, many thanks. Once more the knowledge on the forum is impressive!

best,

Iain

Many thanks Trev, is the axe mark indicative of it being sold on the Dutch market?

Iain

Can anyone help date and ID the maker on this small dish? It has the axe mark for old silver broght back into circulation between 1853 and 1927.

Hi Trev,

Many thanks, I was fixated on a completely different line, it's amazing how the eye sees incorrect things in a worn mark.

best,

Iain

Thanks Trev, helpful as always. I'd seen a ref to D but couldn't find anything specific for the H stamp. We're a lawless lot up here :-)

best,

Hi, Recently acquired this Dundee toddy ladle, any ideas on possible maker? Could the H be the maker's mark and not a date mark? http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z475/15121990/silverforum/ladle/th_DSC_0144a_zps686b1f9e.jpg http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z475/15121990/silverforum/ladle/th_DSC...

Hi, Can anyone assist with this indistinct mark please. George III duty mark and inscribed with the date 1792.

Hi, No, not Cupar. It's an Edinburgh ladle by George Fenwick, assayed in 1812. Fenwick's working period was around 1800 until 1824. From c.1800 to c.1807 he was in partnership with George McHattie as McHattie & Fenwick, and then alone until he took the position of Joint Assay Master with John Z...

Your images are far too small to be seen. Try posting a much larger embedded image of, at least, the marks.

Trev.

Apologies, Here's a thumbnail to closer views of the hallmark..

I think this toddy ladle is Scottish provincial but can't pin it down, possibly Cupar, any help in identifying would be appreciated. TIA http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z475/15121990/silverforum/Scots/th_DSC_0128.jpg http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z475/15121990/silverforum/Scots/th_DSC_0130...

Many thanks Cheryl, much appreciated.

Hi, I think these sugar tongs are silver plate but can't find the marks anywhere, anyone able to confirm or otherwise? TIA http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z475/15121990/silverforum/tongs02.jpg http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z475/15121990/silverforum/tongs01.jpg

Thanks for the confirmation. It was bought at a small local auction house here (Scotland) 2 weeks ago. It was pretty dirty and tarnished but has come up well with a little TLC. I suspect the auctioneer wasn't up to speed on Danish silver marks.

Links to images as requested. It's a match case/striker, similar to the UK Vesta case. I bought this at auction recently described a "white metal" http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z475/15121990/match%20case/DSC01451.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://i1191.photobu...

Many thanks for the info, much appreciated

Iain

Hi, I'm unsure if this match striker is silver, any feedback on the marks appreciated,
