I understand the matter of transporting a mark from a small object to a large one, but it is a bit difficult for me to understand why is missing the leopard head (city) instead of the king's head (duty).

I've seen it somewhere before, but I can't remember where.

Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Great! Can you post the pictures for us?

The typical punching of Messina until 1826 consists of three marks. 1 stamp of the Consul with the year 2 stamp of the City 3 silversmith's stamp https://i.postimg.cc/234LPWwp/MESSINA.jpg On your plate the Messina crest is a bit strange, but the other two brands seem correct. On the other hand, if i...

'm not sure, but I have the feeling that it could be Messina. I post a picture for comparison.

Not only Brandimarte used the old style registration number mark after 1971

From the thesis of Francesco Sponza RESISTANCE TO TARNISHING OF SILVER ALLOYS http://tesi.cab.unipd.it/40143/1/Tesi_Francesco_Sponza_578416-IR.pdf The microstructure of the alloy is another element that can affect tarnishing resistance,  Furthermore, a material with a fine grain and homogeneous comp...

You were probably looking for this post. https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=52410&hilit=CROFF But your mark doesn't look like the one in this post, be it real or fantasy. it is similar to that of Venice, which represents the Lion of San Marco. Here are some examples. (Note th...

I agree with Legrandmogol's opinion, the mark on the right simulates that of Venice in the 18th century, but the coffee pot does not seem at all from that period.
Is there no other mark?
Can you show us a detail of the repair?
Are you sure it's solid silver?
Best regards

Has anyone ever seen such marks or can give me some indication about the origin of these objects? https://i.postimg.cc/B80M7GwH/DA-VERIFICARE-4.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/wtQFSbSP/DA-VERIFICARE-4-A.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Kk9fY3cD/DA-VERIFICARE-4-B.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/CBMJYs0K/DA-VERIFICARE-4-C....

this is one of my favorite pieces

I am not surprised

Yes, Granmaa posted two questions on Venetian cutlery similar to this spoon. https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=34461&p=89003&hilit=venetian#p89003 https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=34543&p=107682&hilit=venetian+fork#p107682 Now, for some reas...

Well, I go back to saying what I said about papal state fork and spoon https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=54445&p=173434&hilit=cast+hand#p173434 hallmark seems cast rather than struck and worn and tremolierstrich seems cast rather than traced with a chisel. Only you who h...

It's really odd that Theo has never seen such a hallmark. It seems to me that the surface of the spoon is a bit strange.
Could you post an enlargement of the "tremolierstrich"?
Thanks

On page 197 of Victor Denaro's book, the AVC mark is attributed to Alfredo Vassallo Cremona

Hi Zilverik As for your travel candlesticks, what I can tell you is that they are from Catania dating back to 1813. https://i.postimg.cc/v1STzVBG/CATANIA.jpg The mark indicated by the red arrow is the mark of the consul IC or IG, which I cannot trace the name of. The letters PPA belong to the silver...

Hello everyone
I have this strange stick, adorned with Peruvian coins and colored stones (or pieces of glass).

Anyone know what it was for?
Thank you
