Quick search on google found me an auction site describing something with this mark as 17th century german. Does it look the same or maybe a fake?

There are no other marks except HB and Tremolierstich. Do you think it is 19th century because of how it's made? Can you tell me more, I would love to learn.AG2012 wrote:Hi,
Is conjoined HB the only mark on your beaker,i.e. besides „Tremolierstich“ (zig zag line) ?
There were at least 3 silversmiths in Augsburg with HB similar to those shown.
I think Augsburg acorn in the description does not match 1650.
After all, your beaker can be German, but of much later date (19th century) based on ``how it`s made``.

Ah I see, thank you. Very useful knowledge.AG2012 wrote:Most 18th century beakers were raised on stake from a single sheet of silver.
Much easier later technique was creating beaker walls from bent sheet of silver and then soldering bottom and even rim, red arrows in your beaker.
