Silver plates with unusual marks,

[Marc]

Hi there,

Once more I have 2 plates with marks I have not been able to find. I thought that the marks were Paris, and then again from Portugal, but I am not satisfied with either one.
I do believe that the plates are c. 1850 - 1890, and pretty sure that they are from Europe.

The 3 marks on the back are as follows:: A fleur de lis over T.G, the second is a crown over a fleur de lis, and the third mark is a crown over a script P. All are in conforming cartouches.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Marc,

I believe they are late 19th Century Hanau marks imitating 18th Century French Hallmarks. I have seen the pseudo Crowned 'P' and the Crowned 'Fleur-de-lis' attributed to Georg Roth, but I have not seen them in conjunction with the 'TG' mark which I believe was a mark used by Ludwig Neresheimer.
It would be good to hear from others with they're opinions.

Regards Trev.
