The lion is the sterling mark, it is the official government sterling purity mark for England.

Your picture is not that clear but it looks like a left facing lion(sterling), leopards head (London), and the date letter V (1995). The maker mark is IMD or LMD.

In Norwegian it translates from your parents, so I would not dismiss Norway.

I had assumed it was silver plate, but it does not test silver. The back side is actually entirely silver in color but it has brush stokes on it as if it were painted. The front side edges also have what appear to be brush strokes but that might be sloppy painting from the backside. I took another c...

Thanks for the additional information it is most interesting.

Thanks for input. It is quite interesting, the men in central image are mostly huddled around one man who is lying on bed or cot. One is fanning him, one appears to be holding bowl of water, another is appears to be doing something to him with his hands. Next to him is a small table with bowls and m...

Hello, I found this giant silver plated copper item. It had been displayed as a wall hanging but I'm not sure that was its original purpose. It is very big, 46 inches long and 35 inches tall, weighs 21 pounds. The item has some high relief repousse work along with very detailed chasing. It appears t...

Your picture is not very clear at all. It looks like it could be British, with a mark of G&H, followed by a lion passant, unclear city mark, unclear date mark. You need to post a better picture, set your camera to macro function and put a loope over the lens and take a good close up of the marks.

I just picked this item up...the marks are really quite rubbed and hard to make out. The item appears to be quite old but I'm at a loss to try to date it. Any help?

Looks Mexican to me. The marks appear to read- MEX makers symbol 925.

Looks Korean both in the style and markings.

Thanks for the information, on the maker and city, that is great. I guess it just must be a very large sugar sifter, maybe for those who really needed to handle a lot of sugar or wanted to do it quickly.

Hello, I just got this ladle like sifter. I'm wondering what it was used for sifting? It is different in shape and size than the sugar sifters I have seen. Also wondering about the maker. I assume, based on the marks this is from Sweden, made in 1800, by GADD. I can't make out the town mark. Thanks....

Firstly, I will admit I know little about the mark in question. But I can find three marks in the different references I have. Pic below showing your mark compared to two other known marks. The middle mark is from Ensko.

Look like a salt or master salt spoon. The pattern is Newcastle ca 1895.

Bahner,

Thanks. I have read about, but not seen the markings of Carl Raab being closer to the rim or along the neck of pieces and not being marked on the bottom. Not sure if his mark is CR in a shield or not.

I understood the marks that are the teapot, Vienna, 1839. CR in shield. My question is whether folks that the item was authentic or not. I would think the item would have been marked on the underside versus the side. That the lid would be hinged, not removable. Not sure why it would be counterfeit o...

Hello all. I recently picked up this teapot and I'm not sure about its authenticity. It is clearly hand made, clearly hand-wrought, repousse work, with hand chasing. The mark placement seems odd to me. Also the unhinged lid seems a little off. The piece is definitely solid silver and fairly well mad...

The m is likely representing the weight of the item,common weight marks used T trade, E extra, H heavy, M massive.

Okay, maybe I figured it out. Took until I posted it before I could read it. French silverplate, maybe I posted this in the wrong category.
