Re: unknown silver plate marks discovered

From the link given above: This particular set of marks has always been confusing as it is found with various sets of initials struck at the end, and sometimes with a slight variation with the marks. It may be that of a manufacturer of blanks who was supplying silver platers and marked the pieces wi...

Re: Can anyone identify?

Hi,
I managed to decipher ``William j.`` and ``London``
I suppose ``London`` indicates British origin, but lacking British set of sterling marks it`s silver plated.
It`s easier for you to identify more words.

Re: 19 C bracelet w/ crown & stag marks, Cyrillic - E. European?

The last letter in the name is eta ``H`` It was pronounced like e in bet in Ancient Greek, but in modern Greek it`s like i in ``bid``. So, the name is EKATERINI.Could be middle name ``A`` but then difficult to tell what comes after that. Cyrillic alphabet developed from Greek, therefore similar lett...

Re: Possible Russian filigree, who and what?

There is difference between Greek letters omicron and upsilon, the latter being open on top. Use magnifying glass (10X) and try to decipher.

Hello again,
Not mirror image, it`s the second kokoshnik, scroll down in the link above.
The second letter is ``G`` in Cyrillic, the first letter is difficult to decipher.

Re: 19 C bracelet w/ crown & stag marks, Cyrillic - E. European?

Hi,
The inscription in niello is Ekaterini, a Greek feminine given name. It could be Greek, Cypriot or made within Greek colonies in Asia Minor (now Turkey).
Will try to decipher the second word, as well as stag mark.

Re: 1648 Charles I English Silver

Hello again, It cannot be restored;piece of silver was cut off. Legs can be removed.I`m not sure if the handle is genuine (most probably not) to be copied, cast and placed on the other side. Too much trouble unless it`s intended to deceive a potential buyer. You will always know what it was. Even Vi...

Re: Enamel Silver Box

It`s irrelevant; .925 is sterling fineness. Sometimes marked ``925`` and sometimes ``sterling`` added. Even higher fineness ``.935`` was marked ``sterling``.

Hi,
Excellent observation by agphile. There is no doubt about wine taster being altered.
Pay attention to pouring lip solder line.

Re: Strange brooch

How about the mounting of the "diamonds"? Also correct?
Rose cut, few facets.Small, carats not counted even if bigger.Set here for decorative purposes. Otherwise nothing wrong with them. Often seen in old jewelry.
