Re: Continental Silver Walking Cane - Please help with hallmarks

Hi - Piotr Latkowski worked for many Polish and Baltic firms (cutlery, napkinrings, walking sticks, canes etc.) who marked this articles in their countries acc. to the laws. So you have his mark and the mark of the client on it. https://abload.de/img/st03q1jdw.jpg https://abload.de/img/st03auukob.jp...
