Provincial Scottish spoon “EW” and “beetle” marks Perth?

Hello I have recently bought this teaspoon just to have an example of a Provincial Scottish spoon in my collection. I think it has not well-known marks though. An inter net reference suggested that “EW” may be the mark of the silversmith “Ewan Wilson” who worked in Perth. A photo is below. https://l...

Re: Dates for the Portugal 833 silver standard?

Thank you Oel for so quick a reply and this extra huge database. I hope it will be easily found for other silver “searchers”. There is a huge amount of information all over the forum and the web site but is often hard to know where to look for that little bit you really want.
Thanks again

Dates for the Portugal 833 silver standard?

Hello, I have just been doing a bit of research on a Portugal “guild” 833 mark using the world silver marks section. I just need a bit of guidance as it shows my 833 mark being used from 1938 but that the “present Portugal assay marks” do not use 833 parts silver. When in fact did “present” start an...

Re: Dutch possible DS mark + sword mark

Thank you Oel for such a quick reply to my post. Double thank you for turning this post into a “bookmark” for me for such useful resources. I didn’t recognise the image as a dahlia, in fact I had to look very carefully to decide that the lettering was “DS” and not “SO”. Incidentally I too like fish ...

Re: cs mark what is it?

The mark you have posted, is as illustrated on 927-1000’s silver plate reference section and also shown on the “silvercollection.it” web site. The “CS” as yo...

“AMORPHOUS” FIGURAL DANISH SILVER PLATE MARK

Hello I just bought another spoon. Stylistically it resembled an English turn of the 19th century small tea or coffee spoon. It was not however English as it carried the Danish 2 tower silver plate mark. Hopefully pictured below are the markings. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/MApfz2D_xrC9gy249fu...
