silver box hallmark help

Postby jalbri85 » Tue Apr 16, 2013 7:29 pm

Please help me figure out where these hallmarks are from! I tried searching the internet, but had no luck. There is one of a profile of a man (could be woman too) with shoulder length hair. It is incredibly detailed. He/She is facing left. The second hallmark looks like an ancient greek mask, frontal view, also shoulder length hair. The third is too worn to make out. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi welcome to the forum,

'Hose' is absolutely right; the second image, the left facing man with the number 2 (near his chin) for 2nd standard or .800 fineness used in France (1819-1838)
The third image guarantee /office mark for Paris, medium sized silver objects (1819-1838) and the last image, French maker’s mark in a lozenge.

Reference; Tardy International Hallmarks on Silver.
