Hello, A while ago I saw that the specialists on the forum deemed a teaset purporting to be Faberge fake because it was not part marked. In Imperial Russia when making an item of many components would the maker have to send off all the part for the piece (lets say tureen) eg handles, lid, finial, fe...

Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction.

Hi I have these silver salt cellars, they look Italian but I can't find the marks. Any help is greatly appreciated. Does anyone have any idea on where the salts are from? https://preview.ibb.co/hndnow/IMG_6397.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/eHMq8w/IMG_6398.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/jTX8vb/IMG_6403.jpg ...

Hi, I have a table spoon with marks that look Austro Hungarian but i can't find the exact match in any books. It is the D7 at the top of the mark that I can't find in any of my books. Does anyone know where D7 is the mark for? Any answers are most appreciated. 42jbb https://preview.ibb.co/bvMTsF/IMG...

Thank you, AG2012 you have been very helpful. It is interesting to see that duty dodging was an international practice.

Hi everyone, I have a question about duty dodging in Russia. I have seen a teapot with what look to be real marks from Moscow from the mid 18th century but the teapot looks 1830s, the teapot is only marked on the base, which it shouldn't be from that period. I think some has used a hallmarked piece ...

Hello all, I have this Britannia standard rat tail from 1713, I think. I can't find the maker. Does anyone have any suggestions as to whom it could be?

Hi can anyone tell me where about the spoon was made in France? Who was the manufacturer? And what is the funny looking giraffe mark as I have never seen it before? The top mark is A over D with a rose in the middle. The middle mark I can't make out. The bottom mark looks like a giraffe. Any help ap...

Hi I have this colonial table spoon. I can't work out the maker. The punch is quite bashed. I think it might be Jamaica or Barbados. The initials are the portrait instead of Landscape the usual for the region. If any one can provide any information. I would be very grateful. https://www.925-1000.com...

Thank you very much Goldstein and AG2012. You have both been most helpful. I agree with you both. Education is the best thing.

Hi, can anyone think of any good books on Russian silver? I don't mind what language the books are in. If there are any books that are really good on Communist silver they would be good to see.

Any suggestions are welcome.

You item seems to French. The horses head looks to be a large discharge mark from Limoges 1780/91. The purity should be .958

Hope this helps.
