Hello all,
I am new to your forum and am looking forward to learning lots of new info about silver. I usually attend the estate sale and try my best to buy silver or old silver-plate but just like rest of us I am only capable of identify some of it, so I am hopping you all will be super to help me in my quest.
Thank you for your help
Jon

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello Jon-

I believe that "Justica, Pietas, Fide" is Latin for "Justice,Piety,Fidelity" not positive though. Without the hallmarks however, impossible to say the who, where and when. By the way your pictures are gone, so.... what is the what is it? any chance of more pictures of the item and the hallmarks?
