I would like to know how old this cross is, and who is the Maker's Mark?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I believe that is the mark of the silversmithing business 'Pasgorcy' of Madrid.

Hopefully one of our Spanish members can tell us more.

Hi Trev,

I think you're right.
Many similarities.
So it will be the second or third quarter of the 20th century.
Unfortunately, not so old ;)
Perhaps the Spanish connoisseurs known more.

Best regards Dendriet

Indeed, says Dognose, the ant is the Spanish hallmark Pasgorcy silverware. Pasgorcy was in Madrid. His silversmith learned his trade in the silverware of Dionisio Garcia. Currently, his son Angel continues the job on Yague silverware. I know him personally because his shop restored my silverware.

I've talked to Angel about the history of Pasgorcy, for that reason I would say that the crucifix is between 1970 and 1985.

Excuses for my bad English language.
