Help, what do you think?
Hy all, I need your knowledge on the subject, what do you think of these marks? I believe they are late and imitative, not good and contemporary of the time. I don't get the hallmarks, the kokoshnik for those years, 1892, should have Saint George and the dragon facing left and not right as in our ca...

Re: Brandy bowl with pseudo mark?
In this case the book of M. Rosenberg³ p307+308 coulb be helpful. The hallmark looks like #3392, the makersmark like 3398. But we find on an auction an beaker with an other variation of the hallmark and makers mark. The shell could be real, but I'm not sure. Scheffler and Rosenberg name some object...

Re: Brandy bowl with pseudo mark?
Hi, I believe the text of the engraving to be in German and some words in Latin. In appearance and style the bowl looks German to me. Anno 1656 Den 8 Octoberis Abends Zwischen 6 Und 7 uhr Ǝst Geboren Thomas Wachler Genater Ursula pongraß Zollerin Witib In October 1656 in the evening between 6 and 7...

Re: Brandy bowl with pseudo mark?

Brandy bowl with pseudo mark?
Dear all, but I mainly turn to @Oel I'm undecided whether it is a Dutch or a German artifact, I'm triyng to identify two marks on a silver-gilt brandy bowl, town mark or the pseudo lion rampant for the fineness is partially illegible while that of the silversmith bears the letters CL between an anch...

Germany, Hungary, ex russian city. or fantasy marks?
I’m trying to figure out what city, and silversmith, it might be, any suggestions? It is a weinprobierschale in silver vermeil, although the polylobed shape is slightly different from the usual and is devoid of the usual embossed decorations, It may also be a late nineteenth product of Hanau but I c...

Re: Unknown mark_french tastevin
Dear Peter, thank you very much for all the info which, however, is already known to me, I don't want to say that I am educated on the subject, on the contrary, but in this case I was referring precisely to the situation of the taxes to be paid or not in case of export and punching of the piece with...

Re: Unknown mark_french tastevin
Oel for responsibility mark what do you mean exactly? the warranty mark? sorry i cant understand, the Belgian hallmark hides nothing else, there is only the A950, and then if it was exported to Belgium why is there no Mercury head as we would expect there must be to get out of France? Veryvery grate...

Re: Unknown mark_french tastevin
Louis George Auger, son of Alphonse Auger, was born in 1864, so he cannot possibly be the Louis Auger of the firm of Auger & Falguieres who registered a mark in 1865; their mark is completely different and the name, I think, pure coincidence. The French Cultural Patrimony site does not record t...

Dear Oel
you're right, I was looking at another piece while cataloging this one!
So the mistery so there still remains the unsolved mystery of who the silversmith of the piece is....

Re: Unknown mark_french tastevin
Dear Oel thank you very much for the prompt reply, so I can assume that the tastevin was brought to Belgium and re-marked here according to current legislation, however it does not add up why the French Minerva is for a lower title, i.e. 800/1000 while in Belgium it even becomes 950! Moreover, Blaks...
