Austrian Makers Mark BU

Post by moonshine »

Hello. I can't seem to match this makers mark. I believe it is BU.
I see the Pest letter P next to the Diana's head.
Spoon measures almost 9 inches long, and weighs 75.7 grams.
Thank You for any information.

Hello!
Unfortunatly maker BU from Pest is unidentified yet. But just to let you know. Pest (Now Budapest) is not an Austrian city, but the capitol of Hungary. And that time in this country (Austria-Hungary) the 2 parts was equal. And more then likely, that a maker in Pest wasn't austrian, but hungarian. I think, the history, and the geography is so important too.
Best regards!

Almost exactly the same spoon, except this example is 9 inches in length and displays no monogram, however I just thought you might like to see an example of this hallmark when it is well-struck:
