Unknown 18th century marks
Hello,
im looking to find more info on these hallmarks. They are on a large centerpiece, with loose parts all marked with these 2 marks. No other marks found.
Seller thinks they are Belgium.

If you want to continue with your imgur pictures all you need to do, for a single picture, is to add ".jpg" to the address and then enclose the result in IMG tags. We could do it for you but if you do it yourself you will know how for another time:

To me, they look like the marks of Madrid.

Buenas tardes, efectivamente son las marcas de la plateria española y de la ciudadd de Madrid. El castillo sería la corte y correspondería al ensayador de la ciudad y el Oso y Madroño representa a las armas heraldicas de la ciudad. (El madroño es un arbusto frutal, según dicen hacia el s.XIII en la zona de Madrid había estos osos y madroños). El 73 corresponde al año 1773.
Saludos.
Good afternoon, indeed they are the marks of the Spanish silverware and the city of Madrid. The castle would be the court and would correspond to the city assayer and the Bear and Madroño represents the heraldic weapons of the city. (The strawberry tree is a fruit bush, as they say towards the XIII century in the Madrid area there were these bears and strawberry trees). 73 corresponds to the year 1773.
Greetings.
