The first mark shows the city (unreadable) above the purity mark - it appears to be 90% - don't have access to info on the "D", the date mark.

It appears to me the first mark is the Tughra marked used in the Ottoman Empire (Turkey pre-1928). Sorry I can't help with the other marks, but I believe you now have a starting point.

Hi. I have several brass samovars bought in Iran and they all have similar marks. The writing is Russian, so that would be the place to start.

An 830 silver retractable ballpoint pen acquired in Norway in the early 70's. Does anyone recognize this mark? Thank you in advance.

I have this box with chased engraving from the 60's or 70's, I believe. It has one tiny stamp of Arabic characters. Can anyone help identify? Thank you!

I have a silver box (tested positive for silver) that I believe comes from Iran. The only mark anywhere is the Lion holding a curved sword. Does anyone recognize this mark?
