I would be very grateful for help. I wonder if anyone knows the brand next to 333? Could it be the manufacturer's? I know that the ring is in 8 kt and that it is probably from Germany. Considering that the fineness is only 8 kt and the person who owned it was born in Hamburg. It has a small ...
I would be very grateful for answers. I wonder if all objects in gold are always stamped with purity in all countries? For example, 333, 580, 750, 9K, 14K, 18K. Even objects made in the 18th century? Some countries have both Hallmark and purity stamped.
Yes, my good man, Simon Groth is the guardein i.e. the assayer. He is an official who only guarantees the legal silver fineness. He has nothing to do with the manufacturing of the spoon. PLC is the maker's mark. Unfortunately unknown to me

I would be very grateful for help with some questions, regarding German silver items.
1. Items manufactured before 1886 had city marks. Was it mandatory that objects in real silver must also have a stamp of purity, for example 12 for .750?
I would gladly do my very best to answer your question, but unfortunately I don't have a microscope. Your picture has the size of an ant and it is also out of focus. In addition, I would also appreciate very much if all punches were shown. Thank you in advance. Samma sak på svenska ...
I would be very grateful for help. I wonder what country a silver box is from? In addition to this mark, it has the import stamp for silver (oval) and S. Which means that it is imported to Sweden.
