French Silverplate marks?
Hi everyone I recently acquired a lovely vesta case or box shaped like a cello or similar. I have no idea if these marks are silver or silver plate marks. The only mark that I think I recognise is the swan which possibly could be a French export mark. The other marks are a complete mystery. One look...

Re: Help with maker, missing hallmark
Thank you both. That’s amazing knowledge, I will update my records with that info.

Help with maker, missing hallmark
Hi everyone I am hoping you can help me again. I have a lovely new pendant and I can only see the end of the hallmark. Does anyone recognise the maker by any chance? I think it looks like FD LD which probably means Limited. As always I am grateful for any help Thanks you https://i.imgur.com/TeHd4ZA....

Hi everyone I have just got this lovely little Vesta / matchbox with a hinged lid. It isn’t silver but could it possibly be silverplated or German silver. It has marks in the lid that don’t look like anything I have ever seen and wondered if anyone may have seen them before? The first could be an ar...

Unusual hallmark

There is no mystery with those but then it looks like a part of another set on the reverse side. It has the Sheffield rose and sterling lion but...
