Hi,
Can anyone identify these marks on an apparently silver goblet which has the following Spanish or Portugese inscription: 'Ao Club de Regatas 6 de Janeiro 1875 Transportes Urbanos'. It stands 7 1/2" (19cm) in height.
Thanks,
Tom.
Help please marks on Spanish Portuguese Goblet

Trophy with Portuguese inscription but not Portuguese marks
Hello
The inscription is in Portuguese language; but not maker's mark and alloy mark 14 = 875/1000. So the object is maybe out of foreign production.
It's necessary to research sport competitions reports too - which is dated here - in Lusophone area e.g. Portugal itself, but also Brasil, Macau, Timor ...
Regards, silverport

Hi silverport,
Thanks for confirming the inscription is Portuguese and thanks for jogging my memory regarding the '14=875/1000'. This is the old 'Loth' standard of the Germans and Austro Hungarians. You have given me scope for further research.
Thanks,
Tom.
