Double Fir Tree hallmark

Post by rustyspoon »

Hi everybody.
I've come across this pretty distinctive hallmark many times, and have not been able to find it either on line or in the books, it's a hallmark showing two encircled fir trees (are they fir trees?) as seen in last image. I find it usually on nice quality Mexican silver pieces. Maybe anyone know what this mark means?

Thanks a bunch!
Kate

The name Juan Sandoval Vasquez appears to be connected with the 'Two Trees' mark.
