Hello! Can anybody in this forum please help me to identify the maker and the othe rmarks on this vesta case with a tinder cord? For instance: I do not know the orientation of the 'SH' or 'HS'.

Hello! I would like to know in which country this cigarette case has been made. It is just marked with '900' and the other mark with the four (?) letters.

Hello Doos!

Thank's for your reply.

Do you know why the hallmark next to DEPOSE is embossed twice? Is that common or even rule?

And what is the single 'triangle' shaped hallmark showing? I can not make it out, even with reference to the French hallmarks.

Hello! I would like to know some details of this nice matchsafe, eg. the time of origin, etc. From the word "DEPOSE" I assign the item to France. But I can not decode the other three hallmarks. Is there somebody out there who can help me? A reference to the TARDY book would be great. I am ...

Hello! I got an quite old (1950) cigarette case with three hallmarks (on each half of the case, next to the clasp). Can anyone help me to identify the hallmarks, please? Sorry for the color of the item, but it is Silver, not Gold ;-) Best regards Rainer http://www.silberdosen.de/hallmarks/cigcase-ha...

Hi admin!

Thanks for the speedy and very informative answer.
The Italian hallmark fits perfect to the image on the case.

I learned that the inscription says:
Peace with you, Markus - My Evanganlist,
and the picture shows the Venetian Markus Lion.

Thanks again!
Rainer

Hello! Can anyone help me to identify the hallmark on the enamelled matchsafe? There is just this one hallmark I can found on the case, no hallmark about the silver content, which I find very unusual. Or does the hallmark itself tells also the silver content? I hope anyone can help me. Thanks in adv...
