Horse drawn carriage

Post by ladymacbeth1263 »

Does anyone know what KAN denotes? I assume it's someone's initials. Also, what do you think the crown/N/10 means?

thanks

Wow. That's a terrible picture I posted. The Crown/N/10 is printed top down. Then the Hallmarks are:
A lion facing right. It looks like II (roman numeral 2) under him
A Minerva head with an M on it
A weird sideways small u.

The initials KAN are down further and upside down compared to the hallmarks.

The M is the regional assay office letter for the city of Schoonhoven. The year letter U for 1979.
