I think it likely that the mark is that of Charles Salomon Mahler: see here, about halfway down Charles-Salomon Mahler Born: ca 1786, Paris, son of Jean Mahler & Jeanne Christine Moench Married 1st: 23 Nov 1816, Elizabeth Francoise Wallner (1798-1817) Married 2nd: 5 Apr 1823, Marie Francoise Meu...

Although the images are less than ideal, the marks do appear to be those for second standard (.800) silver of the French provinces, 1809-1819. There will be a number (or letter) on the helmet of the male profile in the guarantee mark (in the inset photo of your image, lower right) above the "E&...

Louis Nicolas Alban Born: 6 Aug 1783, Paris, son of Francois & Marie Victoire Marnet Married: 5 Jul 1814, Paris, Louise Adelaide Marie Desfontaines (1783-1847) Died: 21 Nov 1862, Gentilly, Val-de-Marne The history of Alban, his predecessor and successors is fairly muddled. His wife, Louise Adel...

The photo of the maker's mark is not very good, and it looks like there are more legible ones on the forks that would have made a better example. That said, the device - a cross with a star above and below - is that used by Louis Lenain, a prolific manufacturer of the 19th century and likely the mak...

Francois Gaston Labady Born: ca 1798, son of Jean Labady & Elizabeth Adelaide Lincelle Married 1st: ca. 1828, Desiree Clotilde Beguin (ca. 1799 – 1834) Married 2nd: 31 Jan 1837, Louise Anne Eugenie Leclerc (ca 1815 -1890) Died: 26 Dec 1879, Paris, 12e; buried 27 Dec 1879, Pere Lachaise Flatware...

After a closer look, I think you are right: the code is "D5" for Chernivtsi, Ukraine, and the date 1860.

Nuremburg is correct; unfortunately the maker is unidentified. The primary reference for Nuremberg silver - Ursula Timann Tebbe, Thomas Eser, et al., Nuernberger Goldschmiedekunst, v. I: Meister, Werke, Marken ; (Nuremburg: Germanisches Nationalmusem, 2007) - lists the maker on page 484, no. 1070 as...

In 1850/1860 (can't tell which is the date on your ladle) "D6" was the code for the assay office in Brody, Galicia (now Ukraine).

This is the mark of [Gustave] Louis Lenain (LL with two “Ls” crossed), registered 22 Oct 1906 at 11 rue Meslay and again on 30 Dec 1911 at 16 rue Dupetit-Thouars. It was cancelled on 3 May 1920 when Lenain was joined by his son Louis Philippe Lenain (b. 1887) as Lenain et Fils aine, who registered a...

I agree with JayT; this is not Courtois’ mark. Rather, it is the mark of Pierre Auguste Chevalier - AC with a coin above and an acorn below – as recorded in Arminjon v. II, mark 94. He registered the mark twice: first on 12 Jan 1840 at 15 rue des Menetriers, cancelled 23 Feb 1846, and next 12 Mar 18...

Based on the description, I am quite sure that the mark is actually "QB" with a pansy and fleur-de-lys above: the mark of Quentin Bachelet. Quentin Louis Bachelet Born: ca. 1790, son of Marie Louis Bachelet & Marie Josephe Seraphine Goddard Married: 3 Dec 1816, Paris, St. Paul parish, ...

Gregoire Martial Gabriel Thurot

Born: 15 Dec 1806, Versailles, Yvelines, son of Pierre Gregoire Thurot and Marie Barbe Forgeron
Married: 18 Dec 1832, St. Germian-en-Laye, Yvelines, to Adele Poncet
Died: 12 Nov 1853, Paris, 8th arrondissement

My renewed apologies. The mark is PH with a tower below two crowns. And yes, very nearly all the marks are photographically reproduced in Arminjon. I'll see if I can upload a copy,

My apologies; I didn't notice your post count and see now that you are relatively new to the forums. Welcome! I was using shorthand to indicate the book Dictionnaire des poincons de fabricants d'ouvrages d'or et d'argent de Paris et de la Seine, 1798-1838 [ Dictionary of Marks and Makers of Works in...

The maker is Pierre Rene Thomas Hellaine (see Arminjon I:2970). I think this must be a rather rare mark, since it was registered on 19 Mar 1808 and cancelled seventeen months later on 1 Sep 1809, by which time Hellaine had died. I have found very little information on him, though his widow, Lousie A...

The mark is overstruck; it reads "Dehanne" above a rooster Pierre-Joseph Dehanne Born: 24 Aug 1751, St. Hubert, Luxembourg Master: 21 Dec 1785, Paris Married: Marie Elizabeth Boillerot (ca. 1754 - 5 Aug 1823) Died: 1827 Several of his daughters married silversmiths, among them Bazile Chena...
