Hi,

This seems to be Continental silver, but it is not French silver.
Could it be from Belgium ? Italy ?

Hi all, Here is a candlestick, that I think was made in Amsterdam in 1809 (?) : http://img15.hostingpics.net/thumbs/mini_474099IMG0198.jpg Here are the marks : http://img15.hostingpics.net/thumbs/mini_492987IMG0200.jpg g in an oval : porbably letter for kingdom of the Netherlands, 1809 (Poinçons d'a...

Thanks Theoderich for this excellent link !
Generally speaking, do you know a link that lists the reference books on German silver marks in 17-19th c., according to the area ?

Thanks dognose for your identification and your explanations.
You identified the 3 main marks, and I suppose that the two remaining marks are also unreadable to you

Thanks a lot Trev. !

I do not know much about Bristih marks.
Could you explain me the meaning of the different marks ?
Thanks.

Hi all, Here is a spoon, that I presume was made around 1800 in British islands, but with marks which I could not identified. The marks are : BP in an oval 4 aligned marks in an oval that I could not really read because they are quite erased. Could you tell me more about these marks ? Thanks. https:...

Hi,

thanks for for link AG2012, and silverfan : congratulation and thank you.
Do you know a book (even in German) about Heidelberg silver ?
I would like to known more about period of activity of this silversmith.

Your are right AG, lions rampant are numerous, and it hard to find with this.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Silverfan, do you know some reference books on Heidelberg marks ?
Do you have a pic of Martin Ueberle to have a comparison ?
Thanks.

Hi all, Here is a silver-gilt spoon, that I presume was made around 1760-1810 in Alsace or in Germany, but with mark which I could not identified. The marks are : - UBERLT or UBERLL in a rectangle : silversmith - B in a rectangle : probably for the date - a lion with the number 13 over : probably to...

Hi Blackstone, well done ! I had a closer look, and I think you are right and that there is a pellet. What is a bit suprising is that the pellet is not exactly under the number "1", it is most precisely between the bottom of the "1" and the mouth of the man. Till know, I though t...

Hi JayT,

Thanks for your comments : I did not recognise the giraffe head recount mark before.
Concerning the silvermith mark : on another part of the item (not visible here), I have a trace of something which I suppose was the trace of an unreadable lozange-shape mark of silvermith.

Hi, I found what is most probably a modified/leveled 'key ring' (chatelaine) made in France during the 1819-38 period ('old man' period). http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/519479IMG0808.jpg Here are the marks : http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/612603IMG0810.jpg Unfortunalty, silversmith mark is alm...

Thanks a lot for your findings.
I know almost nothing on German silver.
It seems that there were a crescent on the left of the crown, and crescent + crown + 800 means a purity of 800 for Germany since 1888 (to nowadays), according to my recent research.

Hi, I own a "false" pair of knife : - one with the French little garantee for "province" (outside Paris), 1798-1809, and the blade engraved "LADERIER A NAMUR" - another, very similar, with this mark (see below) which I could not identify. I am almost certain it is not F...

Hi, very pertinent remark. I do not have the object with me right now, but will have a closer look. I bought it in a lot, and this was not the main one and I did not look close enough. Shame on me. You are perfectly right : first, a general look on the piece, and then, the magnifying glass to study ...

Specially for our friend JayT ;-)
Unfortunately, as you can see, the wood stick is broken.

Hi all, Thanks for your explanations, even if some comments could appears quite incisive. The flatware, which is a very classical Empire sugar spoon, is indeed marked with the 1809-19 hallmark, and not with the 1798-1809 as I wronkly stated. If my understanding is correct, the complete silversmith m...

Dear all,

I try to identify a silversmith from Paris (1798-1809 period), whose mark is :
G or C ?, a spear ?, R or B ? in a lozenge.


Some ideas ?

According to the marks, this object was made in Paris between 1838 and 1972, and is made of 950/1000 silver. Unfortunatly, I did not found the silversmith mark either in the Vocabulaires database (http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/inventai/patrimoine/) or in this database (http://www.silvercollecti...
