I would suggest Mr. Pierre Adrien (1910).

A, a fencing mask, P.

I can't find an image illustrating his goldsmith's mark... But I think it's a lead worth following.

Regards

Many thanks for the information. That does sound a promising lead.

Hi Sorry only just seen this reply Trev.
Here they are again

Hi everyone
I am in need of your wisdom again.
I have just bought an old? French silver buckle with paste stones. I wondered if anyone recognises the makers mark and could hazard a guess as to age?
The object in the middle of the AP marks could be a fruit of some description but I couldn’t say for ...

hi everyone
I have just found this information about this hallmark that I asked about a long while ago. The three crowns or coronets is for the Guild of Hull silversmiths. Found on an auctioneers site purely by accident.
(Forgive me if this is something you already know)

Abraham Barachin was the ...

Thank you Peter this really is an interesting thread. Would love to get to the bottom of where this was from and the amount of knowledge on this site is mind blowing. I am in awe of what people know and I have picked up so much information from here.
I wonder if i should move the thread to another ...

Wow fantastic knowledge.
Thank you.

Hi all
Forgive me if this is wrong category. I have no clue about this one.
I bought this nice fruit knife recently thinking it was posibly Estonian silver after seeing the first mark. The seller thought Birmingham but i knew that wasn’t right even with the anchor.
It has only been on closer ...

Hi everyone
I recently acquired a lovely vesta case or box shaped like a cello or similar.
I have no idea if these marks are silver or silver plate marks. The only mark that I think I recognise is the swan which possibly could be a French export mark.
The other marks are a complete mystery. One ...

Thank you both. That’s amazing knowledge, I will update my records with that info.
I started looked through but it was just a guess what the first letters might be.

Hi everyone
I am hoping you can help me again.
I have a lovely new pendant and I can only see the end of the hallmark.
Does anyone recognise the maker by any chance? I think it looks like FD LD which probably means Limited.
As always I am grateful for any help
Thanks you

Hi everyone
I have just got this lovely little Vesta / matchbox with a hinged lid.
It isn’t silver but could it possibly be silverplated or German silver.
It has marks in the lid that don’t look like anything I have ever seen and wondered if anyone may have seen them before?
The first could be an ...

Thank you I will have a look at that. it is certainly a mystery

Hi everyone
I have just acquired a new piece of silver which I think is a letter opener.
It has a full set of normal hallmarks for C J Vander of Sheffield. There is no mystery with those but then it looks like a part of another set on the reverse side.
It has the Sheffield rose and sterling lion ...

Hi all
Haven’t posted for a while but could do with your help again.
I recently bought this pendant and it said Austro-Hungarian on the ticket. On closer inspection I can see what looks like a french crab mark.
Could it be French?
There are 2 other marks I don’t know and would appreciate your ...

Wow you guys are so great. I have so much to learn and I do it from your knowledge
Thanks again and keep on doing what you do because you have created such a valuable resource with this forum.

Hi everyone
I am hoping you can help me with something that I bought recently
I got a glance at the hallmarks and thought they may be British (I could only make out the lion) but after getting it And giving it a clean I realise they are nothing like English hallmarks
Could they be Hanau pseudo ...

That’s great info many thanks

Hi all
As you are talking about the swan again I wondered if you could help with this.
I have a modern ring that has the artist /make name scratched on the back (Gorig or Gong?) but I also noticed it has on the band the owl and the swan. The ring is silver with a bit of gold.They are small but I am ...

That’s great knowledge Trev
How exciting to have some Sark silver
Thank you
Amanda

Hi everyone
I have recently bought a little pill pot and when I say little, well I mean very little. Not even sure what you would keep in it to tell the truth.
It is only just bigger than a pill.
But the hallmarks interested me and I have had a look but I can’t find any similar online. I would be ...
