Does anyone know what hallmark this is?

Post by estherisa »

Hello,
I have a silver plate showing this hallmark: "L.H." with a knight in the middle (see photos).
Can anyone tell me what kind of hallmark this is? what kind of silver and where from?
Thank you!

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

Your question cannot be answered without the required images. The below should help you:

Posting Requirements

http://www.postimg.com is recommended. Embedded images get a far greater response than just posting links.

Remember to use the 'Preview' button before submitting your post.

Give some time to creating your posts and photos, we'll give some time to researching and answering them.

(Tried to post in the message but it said it was too big, I could not figure out how to have less pixels from a website photo... Do you have an idea?)

Hi Estherisa,

Personally, I never worry about about the pixel thing, just reduce the size of your image to a max. of 7" (18cm) on your computer, using 'Paint' or a similar programme.

PS. Great item, and great images. T.

Hi Estherisa,

Maker is Lucien Houseaux of Rue des Nonnains-d'Hyères 22, Paris. He registered his mark on the 15th March 1921.

No, it's silverplated. To understand the '8g.' mark see: http://www.925-1000.com/a_platenumbers.html
