Hi,
It was common to see Swiss watch cases with several official marks; one can find German, Swiss, French and even Russian 84 standard on the same watch case.
In a word, nothing unusual.

Possibly it came into contact with a small drop of corrosive material, whatever that could affect and ``eat`` silver. It happens within 200 years of exposure to elements (salt, acid, wine, silphur in the air, god knows what). Even rubber bands leave permanent traces hard to remove, emission of chemi...

Hi, The spot cannot be something within the silver sheet when the pitcher was made. The scratch (my red arrows) looks newer in regard of the spot (its discontinuity). I could not resist but try to remove it; even with the finest grain sandpaper then polishing and buffing. That`s how I feel about it,...

It is the pressed glass base for table lighter. A lighter was inserted into the opening, and it`s missing. Early matches were highly flammable and were kept in vesta cases. One cannot keep modern matches in this glass holder and strike them on faceted walls. All said, there was a lighter inserted. R...

It was upside down; so it is VN not what I thought.
Sorry.

Hi,
Interestingly, the only matching NA initials among many Vienna silvermiths is Nachmann Agurtin, active 1892-1916.
Have seen his mark NA within a rectangle with notches, but also without notches.

My mistake; tried to answer from memory without checking. Krisztián is right about the maker: György Goszmann (also Gossmann ), born 1807, apprenticed 1825 to Ferenc Pasperger. His mark was "GG" in script, always in a serrated oval. Regards https://abload.de/img/07-0259-pest_goszmanna6jd8....

Why is Made in Hanau a/M hand engraved ?
Sterling and Germany are punches (marks).

A typo, lapsus calami: steel punch.

Hi, So, there is Native American chief on the handle soldered to Peter II coin. And soldered so poorly, no serious Russian silversmith would let this leave the workshop like this. Besides, all marks are poorly made i.e. faked, particularly B.C initials, the year, 84 and its frame, and Moscow StGeorg...

Hi, The firm was active at Warstone Lane, Birmingham at No. 131 in 1903. In 1919 the firm moved to a new factory in Tachbrook Road, Royal Leamington Spa (Warwickshire). If your bracelet was dated 1913, I would say it was made at the old address; there is no indication they moved elsewhere before 191...

Hi, Julius Theodor Marpé, silvermith in Dresden . Born in Lintorf 1822 September 17. Died in Dresden 1901 March 14. Porcelain handles could be Meissen (search for crossed swards mark, blue underglaze) ,but there were several porcelan manufacturers in the area; most likely Carl Thieme of Dresden. Reg...

Hi, Looks like 13 Loth standard (.813), i.e. before crescent and crown was introduced. It is solid silver of lower standard than sterling, i.e. 81.3% vs 92.5% of pure silver in the alloy. It is a false claim that most of candlestics are weighted; most of them are not. Hopefully the marks will be rec...
