Re: 9" Silver Plate with Mexico City, ZigZag, and JR Mark

9" Silver Plate with Mexico City, ZigZag, and JR Mark

Hi, Can anybody identify the maker and age of this plate? It is 9" and weighs 11 ounces. The "M" mark I think is Mexico City and the zigzag line was used to assay the silver. Should there be an "eagle" mark? Thanks for any help you have. https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jp...
