Early silver crucifix ?

Post by robert12 »

Hi, help needed on this item.
It is a large ornate crucifix which has some odd marks on.
Letters J.N.R.J which I believe is Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.
7.5 cm high and quite nice quality workmanship
Some signs still of gilding

Hi Bob,

You are far more likely to get a response if you embed your images as few people will click on links.

Hi oel , I did look at the mark you refer to earlier but would the number 13 have been applied as well ?
I must admit that Hanau is the most likely attribution for this cross though. Any idea of the age ?

Hi,

Yes, Neresheimer used his marks in combination with the 13 (lot) mark (.812 fineness). Age, my guess is as good as your guess but I should call it turn of the 19th century-early 20th century.
For example:
