Doos, thanks for that mate.

Doos can you please take a look at the other posts on the 2 unknowns that we have?

Jim

Hello, once again.
This mark belongs to a silver trinket.

Please help with its id, if possible.
Thank you.

Hello.
These marks belong to a silver cuckoo clock.

Once again, all information is welcome and appreciated.
Jim

Hello, all. These marks are too worn for us to make sense of them. However, we're hoping that somebody may help with the first two, on the left, which look like the marks of an Assay Office. Any takers on their id, muchly appreciated. Jim&Jill http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee26/jillyjim/200...

Thanks Trev. Much appreciated.
Jim

2007 is almost over so, my wife and I take this opportunity to thank you all for your generous assistance and would also like to wish you all a peaceful and healthy 2008. Once again we need help with the date and maker's mark. It's Birmingham, Sterling but there are so many "Z"s for a year...

Thank you for your opinions.
For what it's worth, this religious charm/pendant is definitely pre 1974 and in my opinion pre-1922.

Thanks Tom and Doos.
Would you be able to tell me up until when was .600 used as a silver content? Or is it in use today? I'm trying to date this mount. Two possible dates are 1850s or 1920s.
The design is as you see it all around the mount.

Happy festive season, to all. This mark is found on a silver mount which, holds an Egyptian scarab. Can anybody, please, identify this mark? http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee26/jillyjim/AntiqueSterlingLinkBraceletCharms17.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee26/jillyjim/AntiqueSterlingLinkBr...

Hello salmoned.
Now that just shows me how ignorant I am.(LOL)
Egypt?
Your help will be greatly appreciated in identifying the 3 unknown to me marks in their cartouche, slamoned.
Or can you please guide me to a site where I can look up the Egyptian hallmarks?

Hello.
We've ruled out Irish.
Could these be perhaps Sheffield? marks, post 1854 when the value in decimals was added to the carat mark?

Hello. The marks below belong to a rose gold religious charm. It is very old. We have seen it and held it. But we only have images of the marks. We would like to know what the marks represent, please. .375 is for 9ct We're guessing that it may be Irish but as always we really have no idea. All comme...

Yes I tend to agree with you, Cheryl judging by what I found on the Net. I did also find a reference that claims "Ataahua" means "beautiful" in Maori.
Thank you for your generous assistance.
Jill

Ta muchly, Cheryl.
We are grateful for and amazed at the endless knowledge of this board's contributors!
Just one more question if you all don't mind please.
If you have any background information on this maker we'd love to know about it. We've never heard of him or her.
Jill

Hello. We welcome all comments on this brooch and need an id of the mark, please. Thank you.

Hello.
Here's some more images.

Hi Tom. I was looking through the hallmarks in this website and I came across a few that wer dated pior to the 1880s that showed the decimal numbers for the silver standard. The German ones spring to mind. Another point is that we don't know if the second mark is a maker's mark. It could be a city m...

Thanks, Tom.
I've asked daughter to send us a photo of the brooch which I'll post.
Any ideas on the maker's mark please?
Jim

Jim forgot to add that it is a C clasp with a substantially protruding pin and all solid heavy silver for a small lapel pin brooch.

Hi there Bahner.
Nope, not 835. It's positively 935 and 1840s.
I don't have a photo of the front because daughter took it.
It's two birds, kissing in flight and each clad with natural large tourquoise stones.
