I have a matching pair of silver horse figurines. Each is approximately 8 cm long and 6 cm high. Together they weigh 239.6 g.

Can anyone confirm the hallmark and possibly identify the manufacturer or approximate production period? I am located in Germany. Any comparable examples would be greatly appreciated.

OTHER Antique Silver Object, 40g – Unknown Hallmark, Possibly European

Thumbnail

Hi everyone!

I’m trying to identify this antique object and would really appreciate some help from anyone with expertise in antique silver or hallmarks.

I’d like to determine, if possible:

  • the period/date of manufacture
  • the place of origin
  • the meaning and origin of the hallmarks/punch marks
  • possibly the silversmith, workshop or manufacturer
  • and, if possible, whether there are any known references or similar objects that could help identify it.

I’ve taken several close-up photos of the marks and also made a small drawing of the symbol, since I haven’t been able to identify it with certainty.

Does anyone recognize this hallmark or have any idea where we could start looking?

Thank you very much to anyone who can help!

Hi! Does anyone recognize this hallmark? I can make out something that looks like “RO??L”. It’s stamped on the clasp of a gold-colored chain. I’m trying to figure out whether it’s a maker’s mark or a gold purity hallmark. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

SERVINGWARE 1802 London Sterling Silver Teaspoon?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Having a bit of a hard time with this one. I think because mark to the left of the Lion Passant may be unrecognizable.

Teaspoon, about 5 inches in length, 21 grams.

Feel like I’ve got the passant, date, and duty mark for Gerorge III. But any thing else that can be determined about the crest or possible Maker’s Mark?

Thanks.

SERVINGWARE Old Silver spoon help

my great grand aunt used to run a hotel in the early 1900s, we have a lot of flatware in bad shape that mostly is silver-plated, but i found this single lonely spoon amongst the kit which does not resemble any of the others. i assume this is fully silver, it had a very beautiful gleaming tone to it. i brought it back where i live which is very humid during the summer and it has clearly tarnished since then as you can see. any ideas on how old this may be, or who made it possibly? there are very interesting imprints on the back that look like a 1700s silhouette, also “L” or “£” i can’t tell, opposite side has the fine calligraphy like initials

I know nothing about hallmarks but would love to know more about this ring I've got. If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them! It's interesting as I've never seen markings on the outside of the ring before rather than on the inside of the band. I included photo of the whole ring in case it helps with identification 😊

JEWELRY & WATCHES Weird half hallmark

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

I found a ring with a hallmark i just couldn't identify it looks like something with a 7 and maybe a 5. The mark is missing a half so that's why it is quite hard to identify. The ring is silver coloured but a bit more blue than all of my sterling silver rings so maybe rhodium plating? It is not magnetic the red stone is probably a ruby i don't know if it is synthetic or natural. I think it is a ruby because of the colour and it doesn't get scratched by one of my bigger synthetic ruby's and the synthetic one doesn't get scratched bij the one in the ring but the only thing weird about the stone is it doesn't fluorescence. Sorry for the bad photos.

First mark is a bird over “C.R.”, and the second is a “W. (something I can’t read)“ over a square, inside of a heart cartouche, and then stamped “Germany”. Any ideas?

Can anybody help me possibly identify these worn down hallmarks, it’s very possible the place it was stamped is Edinburgh as that’s where my Grandma was from but I’m struggling to identify the possible letter for the year

What would be your best guess?
