H&CB Chester Silver Maker's Mark

Hi, I bought this lovely MIZPAH brooch and it has the maker'smark H&CB. In my research I found lots of similar sweetheart brooches for sale (mostly gold!) all with the same maker's mark but none of the listings were able to identify the maker. I would really appreciate it if anyone knows the mak...

Re: Beaker - Silver or Silver Plate?

Hi again, I've been looking through the posts on Danzig silver and there is much of interest but I could not get a definitive explanation of the marks I submitted. I then tried to find the Rosenberg reference book but when I followed the link the book was not there. I get that the middle mark is tha...

Beaker - Silver or Silver Plate?

Hello, This beaker may well be solid silver but as I cannot for want of money work out the marks on it I have posted my query in this silver plate forum. Can anyone please identify the marks? I think I see a Maltese cross, the letters ? LT and a crossed Z in the sequence. I did a silver test on the ...

Maker's Mark Lovely Duck Spoon

Hi, I bought this lovely duck spoon but I can't find the sponsor's mark anywhere. I must admit I have this problem regularly with modern British silver sponsor marks and whenever I do a search on the web there doesn't seem to be an up-to-date resource out there. Can anyone please identify the sponso...

Have I read The Italian Marks Properly?

https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg Hello, I acquired this sweet little goblet (3cm tall) and I wondered if anyone can confirm that I have read the Italian hallmarks correctly?

Re: Franz Louissica Jewellery

Hi, I have solved my own mystery! I bought a silver testing kit on eBay and tested various parts of the chain. All areas tested revealed (even the ring stamped 925) a copper base. I'm not disappointed too much as the proceeds went to charity and it is a nice enough chain albeit with a few coppery bi...

Franz Louissica Jewellery

Hello, I'm not sure where to post this but I have chosen this sub-forum! I bought a piece of jewellery from a charity shop as I figured even if I did make a mistake, at least the money would be well used. I am hoping that the whole piece is solid silver but I have my doubts. The ring is stamped 925 ...

Re: A Gianmaria Buccellati Spoon

So the the spoon was possibly made by Clementi and then retailed by Bucellati? In any case who would be the silversmith assigned the number 1 in the "1 BO"? Interesting stuff. I may have a very royal but challenged spoon : ) .

A Gianmaria Buccellati Spoon

Hello, I bought this spoon for the hallmarks really as it is in terrible condition. I researched the excellent articles on here re Italian silver but the maker 1 BO was not listed so I thought I'd post some pics both to get more info and also if it can complement the information already listed. I ca...
