Hi Qrt.S and Hose_dk!
Many thanks for your replies! So, my tongs are much older than I thought. Antiques!
Best regards. Alex.

Hi all! I have the old sugar tongs with the maker's mark NT and monogram NPI 1814. Maker's mark is very similar to mark of Niels Bartholin Thomassen from Svendborg, Denmark, but he died in 1796. Maybe his successors used this mark? Would like to know your opinions. I'll be grateful for any informati...

This isn't Scandinavian. This is Spain since 1934. See http://www.925-1000.com/foreign_marks3.html

Dear friends! I'm sorry, I was wrong. The letters and numbers under the crown aren't the year marks. They are codes of provincial assay offices. Now known only three of them: for the 1926-49: "A" - Bucharest, "L" - Muntenia and for 1949-55: "10" - Bucharest. Once more f...

Many thanks to all for responses! Very interesting discussion!
I didn't doubt that this is Vilnius hallmark, but who is maker OP - is still a mystery ...
Best regards. Alex.

This is rare Vilnius hallmark of 1898 - first half 1899. "Kokoshnik" with small numbers 84. Assay master Anatoliy Apollonovich Artsybashev, but unfortunately I don't know who is maker OP. I will be grateful for any help. https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/...

I think this isn't Cyrillic. I believe this is German. Perhaps the maker is Diederich Floercken III from Bremen
(early 19th century) - very similar mark.
Best regards. Alex.

Sorry, I was mistaken :-(. "A" -1926, "B" - 1927, etc.

Hi all!
This Romanian tea spoon was made in 1931. "F" is year's letter. "A" - 1927, "B" - 1928, etc. I know it exactly.
Best regards. Alex.

Why 1948? If you see the letter A, it means 1937.

Krisztián is absolutely right - this is Romanian silver mark.

I have two French dessert knives made in Paris in 1819-1838. Maybe anybody knows who is the maker JB?
Thanks in advance.

Ivanov's and Postnikova-Loseva's catalogues have several mistakes. Famous russian researcher V.Skurlov says that Aristarkhov's firm existed till 1900.

Hi Ringo!



The inscription is "НА ПАМЯТЬ", i.e. "FOR MEMORY" or "BY HEART".

Best regards. Alex.

It's not Russian. It's German - Braunschweig, maker Johann Christoph Hildebrandt.

Hi oel, hi silvermakersmarks!
Many thanks for your replies!
Best regards. Alex.

Hi all!
Maybe anybody knows these marks? I'm confused :-(.
I will be grateful for any information.

Hi Paul!
Perhars this is Emile Chaponnet. His mark was "a capon".
Best regards. Alex.
