What the hallmark mean with"3 S" and a axe?
Morning guys!
Need ur help this hallmark on a silver necklace.
I got from an antique exhibition in Gemany, But I'm not sure it's Germany product or not.
Only two hallmarks are found as below,to me it's "3 S" with an axe feature, but not any mark for fineness.
I suppose it is from Bremen city, dose someone knows that?
Thank u in advance

Hi,
Not in use any more. I think the chain was made before WW II.

Hi,
Finished chain made elsewhere and imported to Austria. Have never heard of such a complicated transaction of exporting domestic bullion silver to be processed abroad and then re-imported.

The customary definition of the term antique is that the item is at least 100 years old.

So we cannot say the chain is antique,just vintage
