Ah! A picture just isn't the same thing. I want to see it on a piece of silver.

Miles

There's now a Diamond Jubilee mark, which I'd like to see an example of.

Thank you, Qrt.s.
I'm pretty sure it is silver.

I don't think I've ever seen a Glasgow import mark before. Very interesting.

Miles

Hi,

That's 1805 and Thomas Wallis II.

Miles

What is the object, oel?

Miles

From a table spoon.

Does anyone recognise these marks?

Miles

Does anyone have an idea about this Chinese mark found on a Fiddle Pattern fork?

Miles

Thank you for your suggestion, Ringo.

Miles

Just a thought. It could be Australian, where they also used the sil shortening. There was a Stewart Dawson & Co trading in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane from 1885-1960 onwards. The mark illustarted in the book below is in a cartouche, but that's not to say they didn't have another. Also...

On a tour through the London Assay Office last year, we were shown trays and trays of jewellery marked 925 and sterling. They said it was all silver plated, and thinly plated at that.

Miles

Thank you both for your help.

Miles

I'm almost completely ignorant when it comes to Scottish provincial, but since no-one's answered yet...could the I and V stand for Inverness?

Miles

Hi silverly,

I should have put the size. It's about 15cm long and stands up on it's foot. It's much too heavy for a piece of jewellery. South American was just my best guess going by the decoration.

Miles

Does anyone recognise the maker's mark on this South American Reliquary which looks like ET with a sigma beneath. I imagine it's mid-19th century.

Miles

Yes, I think you're right.

Miles

A c.1781 soup ladle with chasing on the back of the bowl and on the stem. The maker's mark seems to be JC or JG, and I think it's probably Scandinavian. Can anyone confirm?

It's possible that the city is that of Augsburg where I believe they made these coins. The buildings are quite similar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augsburg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/Imag...

Thank you Dad and everyone for your help with my bowl.
Yet another example of how valuable this forum is.

Miles

I have a chased silver bowl which is marked with Russian marks for 1861, but the way in which it is marked and the style of the decoration makes me think that it could be older and simply marked later for resale. Any thoughts? Miles http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h200/granmaa/y-1.jpg http://i64.p...
