Hello, not sure what you want to know, but this reads Bruglocher, one from the Bruglocher family from Augsburg. Most likely J.J. Bruglocher, died before 1846. Best wishes, Bahner

Because I couldn't find anything, and the word "LOCHER" sounds like a German word.
Thanks again for the quick response and I was hoping for a more detailed explanation of origin and period.

Kind regards Sophie

Hi all,


Can someone tell me what silver grade was used in this period?
Of course I always do a silver test and there was nothing wrong with that.


With kind regards,
Sophie

Hi all,

Maybe coin silver?
Coin silver is an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper.


With kind regards,

In Augsburg the standard was 13 Lot that means 812,5/1000 fine silver and the rest mostly copper (not coin silver).

Dear Silverfan,

Thank you very much for your response.

Something that struck me was that there was indeed no indication of silver content.

But I found this on this forum:
"it is not usual that Augsburg used the 13-Loth-mark" : these were the words of Theoderich

I'm still not sure why this is.
I have books about Augsburg too and will let you know if I find anything.
