Brilliant, thanks for that : ) .

Hi, I bought this lovely MIZPAH brooch and it has the maker'smark H&CB. In my research I found lots of similar sweetheart brooches for sale (mostly gold!) all with the same maker's mark but none of the listings were able to identify the maker. I would really appreciate it if anyone knows the mak...

Do you know, I cannot quite say thankyou enough for all the quality answers I've received but I'll try - THANKYOU! If I could buy you folks a pint I would : ).

All the best,

Greg.

Hi again, I've been looking through the posts on Danzig silver and there is much of interest but I could not get a definitive explanation of the marks I submitted. I then tried to find the Rosenberg reference book but when I followed the link the book was not there. I get that the middle mark is tha...

Thanks AG2012 for the info : ) . I'm so pleased the beaker is this old!

Thanks Trev for the lead! Off to try and research the item again!

Greg.

Hello, This beaker may well be solid silver but as I cannot for want of money work out the marks on it I have posted my query in this silver plate forum. Can anyone please identify the marks? I think I see a Maltese cross, the letters ? LT and a crossed Z in the sequence. I did a silver test on the ...

Thanks Phil. I'll try the Birmingham assay office and hope they don't charge a fee!

Greg.

ps sorry about all the white space about the images but I tried my best to get rid of it by cropping but it didn't work!

Greg.

Hi, I bought this lovely duck spoon but I can't find the sponsor's mark anywhere. I must admit I have this problem regularly with modern British silver sponsor marks and whenever I do a search on the web there doesn't seem to be an up-to-date resource out there. Can anyone please identify the sponso...

It worked!! Great stuff : )

Please pardon my reply as I'm practising how to embed a picture!

Great, thanks Trev. Yes my image embedding skills are still nominal after multiple posts and I will try better next time : ) !

https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg Hello, I acquired this sweet little goblet (3cm tall) and I wondered if anyone can confirm that I have read the Italian hallmarks correctly? BR is for Brandimarte s.r.l. 800 is for the fineness of silver * 283 F1 in a car...

Hi, I have solved my own mystery! I bought a silver testing kit on eBay and tested various parts of the chain. All areas tested revealed (even the ring stamped 925) a copper base. I'm not disappointed too much as the proceeds went to charity and it is a nice enough chain albeit with a few coppery bi...

Hello, I'm not sure where to post this but I have chosen this sub-forum! I bought a piece of jewellery from a charity shop as I figured even if I did make a mistake, at least the money would be well used. I am hoping that the whole piece is solid silver but I have my doubts. The ring is stamped 925 ...

Thanks Trev!

So the the spoon was possibly made by Clementi and then retailed by Bucellati? In any case who would be the silversmith assigned the number 1 in the "1 BO"? Interesting stuff. I may have a very royal but challenged spoon : ) .

Hello, I bought this spoon for the hallmarks really as it is in terrible condition. I researched the excellent articles on here re Italian silver but the maker 1 BO was not listed so I thought I'd post some pics both to get more info and also if it can complement the information already listed. I ca...

Omigod, thanks for the info, I was almost certain it was silver plate. I can now do some more research, many thanks!
