Hello, Finally I took some nice pics of my candlestick marks and hopefully someone can help me to identify it. Why I put them in German subforum? No idea but somehow I have a feeling that it is a Hannau pseudo marking. https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg Tha...

Why I didn't think about nickel... OFC it was pretty common base metal for pocket watches. So my questions are answered if you have silver as base metal you don't really need to apply any gold finish on it, common sense. I have a cartier wrist watch that is silver and gold plated but that one has al...

That is very interesting. I emailed Eterna with the serial numbers and the watch movement is dated in 1930. When I look at the surface of the case with a magnifying glass, it seems very homogeneous and I cant see any other metal even where the chain was supposed to be attached. I see this guy Dueber...

Thanks a lot. From now on if I see that kind of number I will know the meaning.

When a maker applies a gold filled on a silver base metal, the item must be marked for silver content? Im asking this because I have a pocket watch marked "Dueber 14K gold filled" in the case but it really looks like silver, it is from 1900-1910 and has no corrosion at all and I dont see a...

Hello, I found this souvenir spoon with a mark that seems to be for Magnus Aase, Norway. It has the letters "NM" and a number "60" stamped. Im guessing it is a good quality silverplated spoon because it looks great after soft cleaning. I have a question about the number "60&...

It looks like Peruvian silver souvenir which is very common. What else you would like to know?

Well I can say that it could be spanish "Del mas original" "the most original" or "from the most original"

Hello guys, I need your help to identify this silver marks on a Pocket Watch. I believe it is German because of the crescent moon and crown, however, I could be wrong. https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg Im sorry for the pics quality. Thank you again for hel...

Hello,

Sorry I didnt reply before. There is a mark very similar to this one from Bogota, Colombia for silver 0.900. My cup have it partially, at least I think so. If you look for TRP in this forum you will find the mark that I am talking about.

Best regards,
Dael.

Hello guys Im looking for any info about this crucifix that was found hidden inside a door from Germany. It is around 8cm large and solid. I believe, however, that it was made by casting but it doesn't look like a serial manufactured item. If there is any info about the silver mark "0.900"...

Hi Trev.

Found a pretty similar one. Seems that the design is related to long/eternal life, so it is probably a medicine box.

Thank you guys,

I wont be removing lot of silver for the small scratches so I would better make it shiny and be more careful.

Best regards.

I have tested some cleaning techniques but I am unable to remove the small scratches, even if I use strong abrasive compounds with cotton cloths, they dont fade or disappear. It is possible to take them out in home or I should leave this small scratches to a pro? See the scratches (lines) I am conce...

Hello guys! Another work of Matilde Espuñes stamped also with "Oriol", a silver shop in Barcelona (my guess) http://www.ramonoriol.com/ It is a set of 6 cups: https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg I was also looking for info about cleaning it, that's...

Thanks Oel, I am going to read a lot more about cleaning. Ill post the set as it is now so it could help with the way to clean it and also will post the spanish marks for your web.

Best regards.

Dael.

It looks like silver and it was easy to clean the patina with Carnu car wax... jejejeje I found in the forum some info about TRP inside a shield with a crown on top so I decided to take a pic and post it. I would appreciate confirmation about the mark as the silver mark related to "TRP" if...

I really appreciate it Trev, I was totally confused and was searching wrongly.

Hello, I am about to clean a set of coffee cups and I read here about Chalk slurry + non ionic soap as main cleaners. My concern is about the chalk slurry, I dont want to make a big mistake with the coffee set and I want to be sure what "Chalk" means. I assume Chalk is calcium carbonate po...

Hello Trev.

If it is chinese you should consider it for transporting crickets.
