Hi All. Can anyone help identify when, where and by who this chamber stick was made. I believe it to be from Sweden as it has the three crown mark. The diameter of the dish is about 13 cm. It weighs 157 grams. It unfortunately has some significant repairs/damage where the handle joins the dish. Would really appreciate any help. Thanks John

Btw. in regard of unsightly solder lumps when repaired; the temperature was not high enough.
There is still a possibility for professional repair.
Fix all parts with steel wire to prevent dislodging when heated.
Apply solder flux to all lumps.
Heat gradually the whole object with jeweler`s torch. Close to red heat the solder would melt and flow, the way it was done by the silversmith, no signs of repair. Just make sure the heat is evenly applied.

Thank you AG - much appreciated, and thanks too for the webpage. I will check the cost of having it professionally repaired - maybe too expensive! Best regards John
