Hi, Laly.

I'm sorry, but the marks on yours cup are looking very doubtfully. In 1872 the order of marking of silver was another. (Pic.)



- Cartouche "84"
- Town mark
- The initials of the assay master

Besides, very strange connection of a cup's leg and the basis.

Best Reg..

Hi,

The leg was broken and repaired ... This workmanship is not from a great artist.

thank for the information.
do you mean that it can be a fake or just poor quality?
by the way the leg is removable. it can be unscrewed to the cup.

best regards,
