I apologize for the delay with the dianakopf pics. I try a better macro , but with my tools i do the best. The leter in front of diana is not K but maybe D or P or B. It's unclear. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w397/stefansniper/20180831_080815.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w397/stef...

Hi to everybody! as first I thank you for this useful site, where I found lot of intersting marks. Regarding Italian marks I have to say that only since 1934 it was introduced the silversmith identification number (into a lozenge) plus the silver content within, or not, an oval line. After italian ...

I search(only 5 pages ) and nop.

Hello again, There is very high probability the cigarette case was commissioned by Italian maker. Trev has suggested where to search for Italian makers. He has collected hundreds and hundreds, including their logos and advertisements. Italian makers often used only fineness without their registrati...

Hi, Royal cipher (monogram surmounted by a crown). Few can be identified - there are hundreds.The crown itself does not help much (e.g. the crown of Austrian Archdukes, German Grand dukes). Royal houses intermingled in Europe. Besides, it does not mean the cigarette case actually belonged to the me...

I don't think it's identifiable heraldry at all.

Sorry!

Thank's.Maybe you may help with the silver mark?
