Unknown mark, help needed please

Postby RoyJ99 » Wed Oct 09, 2013 1:31 pm

Just bought this small bowl and looking for information on the mark. 925 silver I know but it's the maker I'm after, it is possible that a letter has been rubbed away at the start of the mark.

thanks

quick follow up, does anyone know of any online resources where I can find information on this maker or Greek silver in general.

Trev is right - it`s Greek MOSCHOS (ΜΟΣΧΟΣ cursive Mόσχος - family name derived from calf)
