Looking for any info on a silver plate
Posted: Fri Feb 23, 2018 11:41 am
Hello, first time here and not really sure where to post this or even if this is the forum I need so I am asking for your help.
It is 12" and weighs over 13 ounces and looks to be handmade.
I only have these poor pictures to go by. It is marked but picts too poor to ID and I believe the seller said it is silver and is stamped "950" but can't tell until I actually receive it. I went to a genealogy forum for any help with the crest/coat of arms and someone found a very similar plate, but it was obviously stamped and a poorer quality, 10", and had no marks of any kind. Looks just like a poor copy of the piece I won.

I found out the "K J" stands for Kraljevina Jugoslavija[Kingdom of Yugoslavia]. 12/1/1918-1940? "HOC SIGUM VERE REGUM EST" I was told means THIS IS THE SIGN OF THE TRUTH OF THE KING, with "PLUS" & "ULTRA" on the columns.
Anyway, my question is, I think this MAY be something special and not a cheap copy but how or where do I find out what it really is?
I don't see anything here on how to add pictures but I will post this and maybe it is added after? I'll find out in a second.
Thanks so much for your time and any help and if I'm in the wrong place, please let me know,
Karl.
