Thank you Jörg! I am happy you have recognized this mark. The maker mark seems to be AL so maybe Antoine-Alexis Latour (1756-1837)?

And one more thing - what was the silver standard (purity) used within this mark? Any info on that?

Thanks again!

I do not know were to start. I was told the cutlery is old, might be from the 18th century... There are two marks. One of them is a face of man in a mustache? https://i.postimg.cc/J0jNL9Vf/Screenshot-2019-11-20-s-l1600-jpg-obraz-JPEG-1600-1200-pikseli.png https://i.postimg.cc/kMSFKt6T/Screenshot-201...

Very good to know! Thank you Martin!

Best wishes!

Thank you! So the second mark from left is the makers mark or the mark for Sheffield Assay Office?

I do have a picture frame that has some marks on it. The lion does tell me it might be made of sterling silver (looks and fells like that) but the second mark makes me wonder as I have never seen it before and had no success in finding it in the British hallmarks section. What do you think? https://...

Thank you Peter. Do you have a good source for dating Egyptian silver? I have came across different sources. One ends on 1982 and the other one is inactive (Egyptian government site).

Best wishes!

And here another picture of the mars of the same object:

Could someone please identify this date code?



I have tried but many links are not wrking. Thank you!

A better picture of the mark:

I have seen the same comb in an auction catalog and it says "Silver comb Chinese export ware, Taisho Period the frame work modelled as a sleeping Geisha". But it does not seem to be right... a geisha and China??

What do you think about this comb? Is this a modern item? Looks to be silver-plated. Does anyone recognize the mark?

Anyone knows these marks?





Thank you for your help in advance!

I have a small unidentified silver box. It has only two marks. Are these pseudo-marks or the real thing? Please advise.

Hi Trev,

thank you for your time. Tola is a unit of mass. How is a tola connected with the 999? Is there something else to it than only mass which does not make any sense to me as one box weights approx. 100 grams.

Please advise.

I have these two elephant boxes which I would like to know more about. I assume they come from the first half of the XX century from Indochina. I think this might be the present territory of Kingdom of Cambodia. I also assume that they are made of silver of .999 purity. Can you identify the maker an...

Thank you Trev! So it means a 1980s object.

Cannot figure out the date mark - anyone can help me? Or is this a maker mark?

I have a lighter made of silver. I have seen very similar lighters with Italian silver marks including the silver purity. Here is no other mark than this one below. It looks like a rabbit or kangaroo, - have you ever seen such mark? https://i.postimg.cc/W1nkJQBg/DSC00818.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/s2g...

Thank you Aguest! Interesting why this little gem was not marked by the maker...

Again, thank you! Good eye! :)

I have found a nice little silver box. Because of the flower relief, guilloche and enamel I think it is something special. What do you think - who is the maker? https://i.postimg.cc/qqxw8jzj/DSC00779a.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/sfYTdDw7/DSC00781.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/t4qqtTm5/DSC00775.jpg
