Re: Need help with early 19th silver cup, Indian?

The only mark of five on this cup I recognize is the national Symbol of the berbs (Berber) in Morocco and Algeria (on the 9 o'clock place). Therefore I think the item is from that area.

Re: Channel Islands Guernsey HI or IH?

I suppose the spoon to be German. The maker IH will be difficult to identify because of the lack of a town mark. The zickzack-line and the monogram point to Germany too: v dot N or E without crown is typical for a simple nobleman (v means von).

Re: Austrian hallmark? 1/2

Probably 19th century. The bowl is not typical for a table spoon, but perhaps the stem is short.

Re: Austrian hallmark? 1/2

Most probably German. 13 means 13 Lot = 812,5/1000 silver. Without townmark the maker's mark will be very difficult to identify.

Re: German Art Nouveau Hammered Tray Mark

The tray is not plated but solid silver. 800 means 800/1000 pure silver and 200/1000 mostly copper.

Re: Silver Napkin Ring - German made for Italian market ?

I think the L&W mark is "overprinted" by SK, perhaps the austrian importer.

Re: Silver Napkin Ring - German made for Italian market ?

I see an austro-hungarian import mark and the other marks look very like Lutz & Weiss, but the initials do not match.

Re: Mystery Spoon - 1869 - AF - Lady Wings Motif

I think the pattern was created in England around 1850 by Adam, if I remember well. Later it was issued by Wilkens, Bremen in a similar form under No. 93 (different at the top of the handle) still with the halfmoon as the old mark of Wilkens. I saw the pattern also executed by other makers. AF will ...

Gebrüder Friedländer - well-known court jeweller in Berlin - was the seller of this item. The letter H stands for Emil Harnisch *11.12.1862 +19.5.1935 silversmith at Friedländer's, who made the platter.
