Mystery mark on pendant

Post by curi0usJ3n »

Hello,

I am hoping that someone may recognize the mark on this silver pendant. It is large, holds a foil-backed glass stone. The mark appears to be a crown with an "A" and a "2" underneath, and the crown doesn't seem to be a match for any of the recorded Dutch marks. I have also tried Scandinavian and German marks with no luck.

Based on workmanship and style, I suspect that it was made in the early 20th century, but the elements used (such as the wrapped silver curls and cannonball details) have been used long before and after. Thanks for your help!

Hi there,

It is a Bulgarian domestic silver hallmark, A1 standards for 950 silver, used between 1907-1977.

Hope that helps.
