Can`t identify Hallmark / Country

Postby nilchen » Mon Jul 04, 2016 7:21 am

Hello

I bought a pair of These Candlesticks recently. Quality is ok. Both weigh together around 600g. Can anybody tell me:
a). Where were These made?
b). maybe somebody also knows from whom?
c). When were These made?.

Hallmark: 0,925 + Hallmark in a shield: Top Looks like 3 Loops (or 9?). Then FM and underneath maybe an I or T.....
Many thanks
Nilchen

Hi Nilchen,

That is the mark of the Portuguese silversmith Topázio (Ferreira Marques & Irmão, SA).

Can you share an image of the other marks?

Hi Trev,

wonderful. Thank you very much. Such a fast answer! Would you say this was made around 1960??

Here the 0,925 Image.

I'm really not sure date-wise.

I am surprised that the piece has no official hallmarks, as per the image below:

Could there be another mark hidden somewere?
