Re: Unknown Silver Hallmark, 19th Century?
There seems to be a lot of copper showing through around the marks and at the botton part of the plate. It might just be reflections but you sure it isn't silver plated?

Hi, thank you for your message. Yes, I am sure it is silver, I also have a certificate of expertise in this regard. In the photo there are really some reflections from my red curtain! :)
Re: Unknown Silver Hallmark, 19th Century?
I'm wondering if the marks are Hanau pseudo, the crown looks very much like the ones I have seen on Hanau silver before. I can't make out the other mark clearly. Have a look here for more information:

Hi, thanks for your message! Indeed, Hanau pseudo can be a begening research, although looking for a Hanau Pseudo-Mark is like looking in The Bermuda Triangle! :)

It is, unfortunately, you could post it on the 925-1000.com forum, there are lots of knowledgeable peeps over there on all things silver.

Re: Unknown Silver Hallmark, 19th Century?
Thanks for your advice, I have already posted on the 925-1000.com forum a few days ago. Today I cleaned the hallmarks area (which now look much clear) and post some pictures after cleaning (I hope to help identify). Kind regards!



Re: Unknown Silver Hallmark, 19th Century?
I must have missed it, I check in daily with that forum. I cannot see any pictures in your latest post. I'll pop again tomorrow and check.

If I get time over the weekend, I'll have a look through my Tardy book (on international silver hallmarks), its the cat like figure that is going to be hard to find, possibly the maker or master mark.

Re: Unknown Silver Hallmark, 19th Century?
Thanks, also I'm still looking, this kallmark/maker's mark has already become a challenge! :)
Re: Unknown Silver Hallmark, 19th Century?
I'm sorry, I haven't been able to check Tardy's and to be honest, I'm not sure I will find the time, things are a bit mad here with the lockdown etc.
