Well, it looks like you're really right. I found other examples of these bottles made by Henry Manton on the internet. https://i.postimg.cc/tsNKTVk5/zzzzzzzzz230933.jpg I would never have recognized the Birmingham anchor. Also in the 925-1000 photos the Henry Manton mark has a big dot between the H ...

I found this little bottle whose cap carries a very small silver spoon. I don't know what it is for. The question is: are the marks provincial, colonial or just fantasy marks?

Thanks for attention

It is a big problem Someone told me that this new liquid is not very reliable and we are all a little annoyed. The liquid sold in Italy was based on sulfuric acid and potassium dichromate and worked well with 800/000 silver. I tried the liquid based on nitric acid, bought in USA, but sometimes it di...

Thanks for answering me. I'll wait.

Hi JayT may I ask you for another information? I noticed that there are slightly different marks of Tétard Frères (more or less pot-bellied huguenote). https://i.postimg.cc/H8140qP0/tetard.jpg From these small differences is it possible to narrow the time range or instead were they used indifferentl...

This hallamark is (probably) attributed to Malta.

I have not found correspondence neither for Malta nor for Hanau.
Has anyone ever seen this before?
Thanks for attention

Good morning Blackstone I am very sorry if I have offended you in some way. As in all jobs, someone does it well, others do a sloppy work. Your answers in this forum demonstrate beyond any doubt your competence, but, if you want to laugh, I can send you many examples of really ridiculous expertises ...

It also happened to me, in Laos, to buy an object that the seller said was silver, and which after a few years has turned pink. There is actually some silver in the alloy, so the seller didn't lie, strictly speaking, but I think the silvering was done to deceive. An old silversmith told me one day t...

Thanks Blackstone for the in-depth information. I love to consult the catalogs of online auctions, because I find beautiful photos of hallmarks, and often useful information. However, you have to be careful, since often the "experts" of auction houses are not that expert, or maybe they hav...

Hi all. I think I need a confirmation from some French silver expert, which is not exactly my forte. An auction house describes this cruet https://i.postimg.cc/tYzBwVJG/ZOLIERA-1.jpg Italian silverware early 19th century. Guarantee marks for Piedmontese departments (Nice?) And of the silversmith (no...

The company was registered after 1999, so the question must be submitted to the Florence Chamber of Commerce.

Hi the FI 1561 mark corresponds to the company FULVIO CASAMONTI S.R.L. VIA IMPRUNETANA, 227/229, 50023, Impruneta, Florence for firms like this, which were registered after 1999, there are no records that can be consulted. Also the page I had indicated in the post https://www.925-1000.com/forum/view...

it seems that BANGKOKSIA is a trademark.

Would you ever recognize a lion rampant in a photo of the mark in the middle (above examples)? No, I would never have recognized him precisely because he is NOT a rampant lion, nor a winged dragon. The first time I came across this mark I thought it was a fake, as far as it was different from the d...

Thanks Trev for your authoritative endorsement. I will consider the attribution to be 90% valid In fact, I am always a little perplexed when I have to compare a real mark to a design. The designer always makes an interpretation of the mark he sees and sometimes the interpretations diverge incredibly...
