Re: Old? Goblet -- EW and Star/Flower?

Thanks -- does indeed appear to be that -- certainly has been deformed/worn over the years!

Strange Markings on a Spoon -- Scottish?

Hello all! So I have an interesting spoon, it looks to have incomplete hallmarks, it has a maker's mark(?) of JG, a Thistle and a Duty Mark, but lacks a date letter or a city mark.

Re: Can anyone identify these marks?

Unknown Mark - Fish and Shield

Trying to figure out the marks of this piece, there's quite clearly a shield, a fish and what looks to be "HW" in script, it was purchased by a "we buy gold" type of place, so I'm fairly confident its not plate since they test for that, but does "feel" to be less pure t...
