Is this a French Hallmark or something else? Thank you.

Post by ejenie »

Hello again, This is a bracelet and wondering if this is a French hallmark - boar's head or some other animal hallmark. Looks kind of large for the boar - Marked 925 in two places and also "503FI" (possibly style number?). Just really wondering about the animal mark - Thanks so much.

Hello.

Bottom picture mark looks Italian to me.

The animal mark looks like the Swiss "dog" Assay Office Mark, used in conjunction with the European Convention "scale" Common Control Mark next to it.

Thank you both for your time and reply. I agree with both of you, the animal head does look like a St. Bernard Dog same border shape too. Looking at the mark closer we also see the Italian mark matches closely to the other mark. Possibly made in Italy and sold in Switzerland or visa versa.
Thanks again for this fine resource.

Hi,

The 503 FI is the registation mark of Piero Nutini S.N.C. Fabrizio Giovanna Nutini of Firenze
