Hi FredR and welcome to the forum!

The left mark is the maker's mark, which is unknown to me.
830S is 830/1000 S as in silver.
The crescent and the crown are since 1886, the German "official" marks.

So my answer is, made in Germany after 1886.

I hope this helps.

Best regards/JAKJO

Maker's mark

Hello

Maker's mark: Please place a more detailled photo from maker's mark itself. Yours overview don't let see sufficient details; especially if it is bad struck.

Thank you!

Kind regards silverport

Snuff box - yet unknown maker's mark

Postby silverport » Mon Dec 14, 2009 3:29 pm

Hello FredR

Thank you for these photos!

By all my knowledge, and some guide, actually this mark is unknown by me. Also if I turn it top down - this hart, leaf shape or sugar cone don't match.

Yours snuff box could be made in Germany in a little workshop in Hanau, Pforzheim or Schwäbisch Gmünd (main German production center of these objects); and "maker's mark" could be of a whole saler or retailer?

I hope that somebody else know this mark and would answer yours questions.

Sorry!

Kind regards silverport
