Austrian Silverware Hallmark Question

Post by dwenner »

Anybody know the source of the hallmark contained in the following image https://goo.gl/photos/J9g8JpNfuYiqocFVA ? I have been told that the silverware comes from Austria, but I'm not sure of the exact origin. I'm hoping the hallmark will shed some light as to the silversmith and the dates.

Thanks,
David

Although not sharp enough looks like Hungary 1937-1965
Mark for big articles: Diana head and number below indicates silver purity 2=.900

That's great. Any way to find out the silversmith from the mark?

Hello David!
The maker is probably Polgár Kálmán from Budapest.
Best regards!

Krisztián,

Thanks for the lead. Are you familiar with this silversmith, their history? Are they still in business?

Thanks,
David
