I am trying to identify the company with the Italian registration number 615 FI. It is on a Buccellati style lobster. We have another with CUSI marks, but I cannot find that mark on this one anywhere. The stamping is very small and tough to photograph, but I will attach what I have if I can figure out how to do that. I am sure about the number. it is 800 silver.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

I've adjusted your user name.

The Italian Registration No.: 615 FI was issued to Fratelli Lisi e Figli snc of Firenze in February 1976, although they appear to have in business since 1950, perhaps working under another Registration number.

I'll add further details a little later to this topic: Italian Silverware and Jewellery Manufacturers

I wrote to the company for information.
Miss Giovanna Lisi kindly replied to me by confirming what Trev assumed, that is, before 1976 the name of the company and the mark were different.
He also added that since 1995 they no longer use the 800/1000 fineness, and then the lobster was made before that year.
