800 Pendant id - Thank s
800 Pendant id - Thank s
So sorry - I'm posting this again as I just posted in wrong section. Need country or maker ID if possible on this 800 silver pendant. 800 on back and hallmark of face in triangle shape. Could it be London? - uncertain if they stamped 800. Initials to right appear to be JR.
All help appreciated and thanks for looking at these photos.

British minimum Standard being assayed is 925-1,000 for Silver!
Hello »ejenie«
Welcome to the Forum.
Yes I understand, that to be a »New be« is really difficult.
Some times the single tree isn’t “seen” inside the Forest — on the other hand, some times a single tree is “seen” to be “the Forest”.
A “cat’s face” don’t stand here for »London« - especially not, for which reason who ever it is placed, on a 800-1,000 item.
The British minimum Standard fineness to be assayed is 925-1,000 for Silver!
I suppose that it is a souvenir from Hameln, Germany — with the at least in Germany well known story »Der Rattenfänger von Hameln« (»The Pied Piper of Hamelin«).
That’s sounded by the object’s sculptural theme — but also by the indication of the German minimum fineness of 800-1,000.
JR is maybe there a local caster-silversmith? Actually I don’t know any one with these initials, who cast silver for jewellery.
It seems to me that it is out of a recent production = End XX until beginning XXI century.
Please use the much basic information which is provided — like e.g.
http://www.925-1000.com/british_marks.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
http://www.925-1000.com/foreign_marks.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
and much more has »925-1000« to offer for you.
Kind regards silverport
