Wildly guessing where to post this one. What I know: 1. Oooh, shiny metal. 2. 13DK (Denmark, Drachmas, Dodge Karavan?) Sorry it looks so beat to you know where!
Hello! I saw this marks a lot of time in different items in Hungary. The type of the items seggested to me, that's from aroun 1860-1870. It' defenetely lot marks, the fineness is 812,5‰.' The bad news, I don't know, where made, Germany, or Hungary. I can't identify. Best regards! Krisztián
Many thanks, Kr.. Given the approximate era, would anyone think Transylvania as a further possible search area due to the old Hungarian presence there?
Well, as the part of the Hungarian Kingdom (that time) certeinly. Moreover, we have so slight knowledge about the silversmith in Transylvania - Except the big centrums (Brassó/Kronstadt, Nagyszeben/Hermannstadt, Kolozsvár/Klausenburg). So it's a possibility too, Best regards! Krisztián
Hello! The maker is Dominikus Kott in Schwäbisch Gmünd. Mentioned in 1855. (Source: Das Gmünder schmuckhandwerk bis zum beginn des XIX jahrhunderts. Lempp verlag. Page nr .85. ) Best regards! Krisztián
