Help ID marks on silver shoe buckles!
Posted: Wed Apr 23, 2008 10:45 pm
Can anyone help ID these marks?? I am trying to figure out the age and origin. I am told it may be early dutch?
Looks like an "I" with a crown on top, some type of flower stem or corn stalk with a crown on top, and what looks like a mixture of the letter "i" with an "A" intertwined and wings on either side, plus a small letter "B" to the left. There is also what I think is the makers mark which is hard to decipher. I see the letter "K" for sure, with two letter or symbols before that which I can't make out due to it being half stamped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
