I have a family heirloom, this silver two handled cup and needed some assistance.
The town mark appears to be two cross swords which I understand is Saxony, but with no letter indicating town, I am not sure where to go from there. The swords match very similar stamps I have seen online from both Dresden and Leipzig.
As for the markers mark, the best I can figure it appears to be I.C.D. and to that end, on this forum I found reference to ICD is Joseph Christoph Deppenbrock. http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=40189
But that also says he was in Münster in the Westfalen, which wouldn't match the Saxony stamp.
But I wasn't even sure that was I.C.D. the C looks almost like a G and the D looks almost like a lowercase b, though I doubt it.
Any help you can offer would be so helpful, thank you in advance!
