You all have been so helpful. This is my very first piece of Italian silver...I really couldn't have done it without you. I have been up half the night reading everything I can.
Never a dull moment when dealing with silver. Thank you again so very much.

Maurice...Thank you again so much....Out of curiosity...was the silver content because of a hallmark or because of a certain time period? Is there a way for me to tell by looking at the piece or just from your years of experience.

why is there the coat of arms for the Vatican. I believe it to be a J and 3 inbetween the F and G..or possibly F J & G. Thank you so very much...I think this is all very fascinating. Again....very curious as to the Vatican mark. Was this made inside Vatican City by a Frenchman? Yes I believe the...

I am not very good with posting....I sent it without writing what I know. I believe the crest mark to be that of the Vatican. I believe these spoons to be 19th century or earlier. The diamond shape reminds me of the French makers mark. I am certain that they are sterling or better.

Please help me with this mark. Positive that it is 925 or 950.

Could the stamp be B S "F" instead of an "E"? Gorham had a retail store that merged with Black, Starr and Frost in 1929 in New York. It would not be unusual to put both marks on.
