Face of a man in an oval
I have got this mark on a fork. Anyone familiar with it?

Are you completely sure it's solid silver?
Have you tested it?
Can you post an image of the fork ?

Thank you Amena for your reply. It was described as so. But looking at the gold tone parts it might actually be silver plated.

If more than 50 of the visitors of this forum have never seen this mark, a doubt arises spontaneously.

::::: Please have it tested ::::
::::: I still believe this fork to be silver. :::::
::::: The detail in the face of a man in an oval is very good. ::::

Re: Face of a man in an oval
:::: I found the face of a man in an oval on another fork in a large collection of antique silver forks and that fork also bears a [70] hallmark so I believe that means "70 grams of silver used in the silver-plating process" and therefore this is a silver-plate hallmark. :::::: It's the same face I am sure of it. ::::
