I won't say anything about the German silver tankard; there are members who are much more competent than me.

I have tested with acid and a strong magnet that does the soft damped 'slide' thing down the surface but does not attract when static. I filed down a small bit inside of the handle and it is not plated and the material filed off from under the surface tests the same as the surface.
this is much ...

I've collected many marks and pseudo-marks by Ciro Jacomino, but these are completely new to me.
That doesn't mean they can't be.
However, I'd be more encouraged to research if you could explain in detail the phrase " I am pretty damn sure it is solid silver (tests good throughout, feel, experience ...

Does anyone recognize these marks?

They're very unique, but I don't recall ever seeing them before.
Thanks for your attention.

A real lady wouldn't do that.

It could be Mr MB's favorite drink, he puts his initials on it to say: it's reserved, hands off!

Could you tell us the length of the cutlery?
Thanks

I don't know about that mark, but the cutlery is gorgeous.
Congratulations

I can add that the silversmith is Gabriele Sisino

I recently saw this Stefani piece at auction.
Just looking at it is certain it's Stefani; his style is unmistakable, although, to be honest, I've never been enthusiastic about it. I find it a bit kitsch, even though I recognize his great skill.

I agree with you, the cutlery pattern is likely from the second half of the 18th century, while Jean Jacques Franchet's works are classified in the first or second quarter.
That's why I hypothesized that his heirs or widow used his punch.
Assuming it's his mark and not just a coincidence.

The book doesn't specify the exact dates of Jean Jacques's work.

However, we are in the first quarter or at most the first half of the 18th century.

When I saw the photo of the spoon I immediately thought of a Piedmontese cutlery, but the hallmarking does not match.
There is however a Savoyard silversmith whose mark is described as

I wouldn't even think for a moment of cleaning my teeth with a steel blade, but frankly, it seems difficult to me to imagine a carpenter sharpening a pencil with such a precious little object.

A fruit knife?

Thanks Aguest for your considerations
I am really not very knowledgeable about Swiss or Danish silver, let alone if it is from the 17th century.
I also think we should look in Northern Europe.
I seem to see a K with four dots on the sides, which makes it unlikely that it's a Romance-speaking country ...

Hello everyone
I am interested in this palmatoria that attracts me.

However I do not recognize the marks and I can not even understand which country or area they are from.
Could they be fantasy marks?
Any help will be precious
Thanks
