Well folks

This collection of boxes is proving hard to get all the makers etc.

This Austrian one, 18?7, decade letter hard to determine, makers mark appears to be MK, does anyone recognise the maker?

Thanks yet again in advance
Colin

Hi,
B stands for Prague Assay Office.
Prague silversmiths are not easy to identify.
This one has been identified, though:

On the other hand, Anton (Antonin) Dörr. 1807-1871 was an apprentice with Mathyas or Mathias Kral. I think MK can be safely attributed to him; almost impossible to have two or more MK silversmiths at the time in Prague.
Regards

Thanks again AG.

Glad your around, I did know the B was Prague I just forgot to mention in opening post.

Thanks again,
Colin

The maker is most likely Mathias Kilian.
