Best I can see here is "750", then something like combination between "S" and "H" in the triangle , then box with "star .156. 81"

Hello I have purchased possibly very expensive scroll like cufflinks, pretty sure Italian. Can't find maker. Will appreciate any help, I purchased it in pair with very expensive Graff cufflinks.

I couldn't even imagine more complete and better answer, you covered literally every possible issue. Many thanks, Maurice!

I guess I should also point out that 1677 makes it 17th century not 15th, I presume a typo. Oh, sure - this is a typo, should read 17th century. Thanks a lot for you contribution, it's a pleasure to get so mathematically sharp knowledge. I am not an expert, but many years ago I took this piece for ...

Many years ago someone told me this is 1663 plate by Mathias Geggler - but I cant find any proof of that. Please help ! http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e380/duni777/augsburg%20plate/DSC_...

Cheryl, thanks interesting point... i have not checked beads material. Now I tried to scratch it with the knife, and it looks very hard... harder then steel (I have used very sharp $500 knife - has 62 hardness by Rockwell, not a smallest scratch! It suppose to be glass or even carbide something... S...

Thanks for contribution - I spent 20minuts trying to find another hallmarks : unfortunately I have everything posted : the bee and that round marks. My quess about age of the item based on fabric look - it looks like much older then 100-150 years old item I have seen enough in my life. The purse dec...

Hello, I have very old and quality made sterling lady purse - pretty sure french origins. I think this is at least 18th century. Please help to identify hallmarks. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e380/duni777/french%20puse/IMG_5855.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e380/duni777/french%20puse/R...

I cant be absolutely sure. Plate is very used - I cant remove the dust from thousands of scraches (you can see that on the macro..) - it make a feel of low quality silver. Relatively thick plate. Also material is pretty bright. I may try to calculate relative weight of material - but maybe hallmarks...

The closest mark (and only one, close to that 'F') - I have found in 'Old solver' by B. Wyller... F shape is simply the same. Also It looks like I see some kind of round crown over the 'F'... I am absolutely sure - this is VERY old plate, you know - forget that hallmarks, you can see the time impact...

I am very thankfull for contribution. I have not posted the picture of the plate (its arround 1kg!) - but on the back side you may find letters:
R.D.F.U.W.
Lets say I found zero information on the web about that letters - someone may uncover that?
