a possibly Bavarian rosary that has two marks on it

Hello. This is an old rosary that has two marks on it. The numeral 12 would mean .075 silver. Could anyone tell me what the other mark mean? Thank you very much for your help.

Hello AG2012. Thank you very much for the information. Is the other the maker's mark?

a filigree rosary - probably portuguese

Hello. I have a .835 silver rosary of Our Lady of Fatima, which has an assay mark that looks like a bird profile and another mark which may be a maker's mark. Could anyone identify them? Please help me out. Thanks a lot in advance. https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics...

Re: marks on a Spanish religious medal

I did not know the Rosenberg books. Your information on the reference is very precious to me. Thanks a lot for your kind help. Does the shape of the frame denote the assaying or production year of 1860? The medal looks newer to me. Did not they reuse the frame of the same (or similar) shape after so...

Re: Beautiful Japanese Bowl with Lacquer. Strange mark, Please help

Hello. I believe this is tin (Sn), not silver. The mark is "Tsugiyama" or "Tsuguyama", a Japanese maker of tin items in Meiji era (the latter half of 19th century). http://www.yamato-kottou.asia/uncategorized/%E7%B6%99%E5%B1%B1%E3%83%BB%E9%8C%AB%E5%8D%8A%E3%81%AE%E9%8C%AB%E8%A3%B...

a vermeil filigree cross

Hello. I have an antique cross, 44 x 27 mm, which I believe is made of vermeil. It was in France and has three marks on it. Is the figure in the pentagon Austrian Diana's head? Could anyone tell me what these marks mean? Thank you very much in advance. Natsuki http://antiquesanastasia.com/religion/c...

Hello. I have a religious medal which has Jesus on one side and Nuestra Senora de Monserrato on the other. I don't know the material of the medal. It may be solid silver, silver plate, or some other silver-colored metal. The Jesus side has two marks. https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://ww...
