After reading a few posts about fake polish items I would like to know if these might be fakes or not
They dont have the owl hallmark
The cartouches are not engraved, is this normal?
Thanks!!!

Hi -
please try to post better (larger) detail photos, so we can explain the single marks. On the first glance your objects look authentic - but with better photos we can see exactly what it is. Unengraved cartouches are common - it was a matter of money, time and personal taste.
Regards
Postnikov

Yes, better and sharper photos of the marks would help the identification remarkably. However, what can be seen as for now is:
The upper mark seems to be the (Jan) Pogorzelski factory with their trade mark a stag's head, The assayer Walery Kostrebsky in Warszaw 1859 (1852-1860)
The lower mark is difficult to read because it is over marked and blurry. The only thing I can see with certainty is the assayer's mark O.C. It is Osip Sosikowsky/Sosenkowskij...also in Warszaw (1869-1896) but the rest ?????
What I stated is with reservations only. New pictures might change my current opinion.
