Re: Swedish silver import marks

One other thing about the date mark - I've read that not only are the Chester assay vs import marks different, but that the import marks used a different set of date marks. But I see no separate table of Chester import date marks. If they do differ that may make more sense of the movement made ...

Re: Swedish silver import marks

Hmmm ... at one place it's said that the Chester mark was discontinued after 1904, where the national marks rather than town marks were begun, and at another place it's said that the Chester mark began in 1904!

Re: Swedish silver import marks


I don't see any Swedish import marks here unless. There should be an oval three crowns' mark. The oval leaf mark looks like a thistle which would indicate Scotland and MAB looks more like MAH to me.

Swedish silver import marks

The marks pictured are on the silver pocket watch case where the watch dates to about 1909. I'm hoping to identify the and the [3-pronged leaf] marks as I believe I have already read the source for the [MAB] mark.

I'd add pictures but can't figure out how to do so.
