18e c . silver box - Schwäb-Gmünde ?

Postby anikopol » Mon Jul 25, 2016 2:31 am

Hello,

I would like to have more information relative to these marks, but unfortunately I have very few books related to German silver.

What I read :
H or JH in a square : unidentified mark, maybe the silversmith one
K with a dot upside and a dot on the right : unidentified mark, maybe the one for the year
a unicorn : seems to be Schwäb-Gmünde, around 1720-80 (Der Goldschmiede Merkzeichen [Rosenberg, 1922], T.2, p. 110, Nr. 2179), but I am not familiar with German mark so if someone could confirm
a minerva : French mark for silver (800°), after 1838, probably apposed latter than the first three marks

Thanks for your help !

Schwäbisch Gmünd is correct - but I am not sure about the makersmark.

It is JH or K

Dear Theoderich.
Thanks for the confirmation.

It would be great to identify the silversmith, in order to more precise for the date of production of the piece.
Do you know reference book for Schwäbisch Gmünd silver, even in German ?
