Re: Unreadable Russian Hallmark "J." 18th or 19th Poland Ukraine

after getting no responses I looked at the mark again. I was very wrong. Looking at it upside down, its now clear to me it is a worn "ET", a French guarantee mark. Move along, nothing to see here :)

Re: Silver Menorah with Bizarre Looking Marks

I'm helping someone, this is not mine. He told me this was given to him by a relative which was passed down since before the war. Not from an auction. These are the photoe he gave me. It's not that important if I don't get an answer, he just wanted to know what I thought of this in terms of origin ...

Silver Menorah with Bizarre Looking Marks

Hanau? Made in England or USA for export to Germany? Very 1930's Art Deco style.

Re: Can these German marks be identified?

Wow, I am way off? 18th century Hungary? Does anyone else agree with that? I am traveling now and will not be back home to take a sharp, clear scan of the hallmarks until 4/18. I will do it as soon as I get back, thank you!

Can these German marks be identified?

Hello everyone. I am assuming these are pseudo-marks, even with the very convincing 18th century style zig-zag assay scrape. Any ideas who the maker is?

Re: Russian 1795 Hallmarks, Fake or Real?

Thank you Juke! Anyone else? I would really like someone to focus on the hallmarks of my tray and give their opinion on it. For example, the font of the letters "CC" on my tray seem much slimmer to the "CC" seen in the photo of the tray another person posted, the one that looks gold-washed.

Re: Russian 1795 Hallmarks, Fake or Real?

Nevermind Juke, I found it. However the hallmarks on that tray look much different. Boy I really do not know what to think! Anyone else with an opinion of the hallmarks on my tray?

Re: Russian 1795 Hallmarks, Fake or Real?

AG2012 I have read your replies and based on them and the photo provided of an authentic tray, I believe the marks are fake. I thank you so very much for your thoughts.

Re: Russian 1795 Hallmarks, Fake or Real?

For Mart, who posted the photo of the tray: did you do so to strengthen the opinion that the tray I am asking about is authentic? Because the hallmarks are similar? Or am I reading too much into that?

Re: Russian 1795 Hallmarks, Fake or Real?

Thank you two both the recent replies of "yes it is authentic", and the person who states "I would not bet on the authenticity". I would appreciate hearing from anyone else. The tray looks the same as the photo seen, just a whole round piece with this built in elevated cut-out/reticulated border ...

Re: Russian 1795 Hallmarks, Fake or Real?

Hi there is no offer. I am evaluating this for a friend. The Hebrew is for the Passover seder. I know all about Russian Judaica fakes, I'm asking if the hallmarks are real or not.

Russian 1795 Hallmarks, Fake or Real?

I already determined the decorative engraving is modern, but is the tray itself fake? Foolishly, I only took a photo of part of the tray. It's about 12 inches in diameter.
