Hello everybody!

I have some question about this nice Wild-Pig-Head shown below,

The weight is about 1,8kg!, with an 925 Mark and halfmoon crown.

I also have two cups with the same pig-head on them.
I have found the Mark [EH] (letters EH in an square) on them.

1. How can i use it?
2. Where does it come from?
3. How old can it be?

Thanks for all your help!

Hello, most likely a "SchaustÃ¼ck" to be hung up on the wall. Probably from Hanau. The use of sterling would imply a production after 1945. There are several German makers using "EH" in a square. A pic of the mark would help. Best wishes, Bahner

Sorry, I have to pass this one. Don't know the maker. Looks quite new to me, maybe the maker is still active ? Best wishes, Bahner

Maybe it is from "Gebruder Ring" Braunschweig, Lowersaxon? But i canÂ´t find any information about them in the internet. The cups were bed in a box with a stamp from them... But i donÂ´t htink that they are makers maybe a juwlery?!?

Thanks allot Bahner!
