Hi, Laly.

I'm sorry, but the marks on yours cup are looking very doubtfully. In 1872 the order of marking of silver was another. (Pic.)



- Cartouche "84"
- Town mark
- The initials of the assay master

Besides, very strange connection of a cup's leg and the basis.

Best Reg..

Hi,

The leg was broken and repaired ... This workmanship is not from a great artist.

thank for the information.
do you mean that it can be a fake or just poor quality?
by the way the leg is removable. it can be unscrewed to the cup.

best regards,

Hi laly,

Just the way how was repaired is not great master work.
