Hi Everyone,
I have searched the site, but am having no luck identifying this mark. I was told it possibly could be Russian, but I see no similar marks. I am also not finding any lions with all four paws on the ground. The top mark almost looks like it could be Arabic, but I am not sure. Any help ...

I can't thank you enough AG2012. I got thrown off track with the B when I saw it under Bamberghttps://www.925-1000.com/Fgerman_marks_b1884.html

Hi All,
I have a issue that I cannot seem to solve. I have this plate that my mother gave me about two years ago.

Hi Qrt.s,
When I bought this frame, I thought it was an original. After doing research, I realized not only was it not one of a kind, but a reproduction. My questions, when I thought it was an original, was where it was made, and who is RC? I now think that I will not be able to answer those ...

Hi All,
First off I want to say thanks for everyone's help. I have learned so much, including that my frame is most likely a reproduction. In fact, they really are not that rare.

One website even offers it for sale right now. It even says These identical replicas of antique style European ...

Hi AG2012,
Thank you so much for the information. I really appreciate your insight. Thank you also for the two pictures. Do you have any idea in what country it was produced in? Is it English? Since it was often reproduced, can I take that to mean many different silversmiths made versions of it ...

I think the mystery has been solved.

After much research, and looking at the book American Silversmiths and their Marks by Stephen G.C. Ensko. This beautiful piece is American and was made by Robert Campbell of Baltimore Maryland. RC was one of his early marks.

Hi All,

Hi All,
I have this silver frame that I am trying to learn more about. The only marks, are an embedded RC and 925. I was told it was possibly it was Italian, but the marks look nothing like the examples on the website. Any insight would be much appreciated.
