Dear all
Here is a silver pot that I am told was for tobacco
I have searched far east and middle east marks but can't find anything.
Has anyone any idea (and does it say or does anyone know the probable grade of silver)
Appreciated as always. (sorry, not the best photo's)

? Tabacco Pot. Unsure of mark
Re: ? Tabacco Pot. Unsure of mark
Hello
The lower marks reads Brunei.
It is small country on the island of Borneo
Brunei silver seems to be marked very often with the name of the country in Jawi (a variant of Arabic) script plus two Roman letters which may refer to the silver smith. I have never come across an explanation of Brunei silver marks
Perhaps others can help on this point
Hope this helps
