Hi. Could anybody help me with identifying the hallmarks of my item please? Having scoured the web I have seen nothing similar. The item is a small cup/beaker engraved 'Lourdes'. If anybody knows anything else about I would be grateful if you share your knowledge with me.
Many thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I've had this item for approx 6 yrs and I have been told previously that it is solid silver. I know very little about silver and didn't realise that silver plate was stamped. Have you any idea of the age of the item? It weighs 75g.
Many thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
Agree that those are French silverplate marks.

Don't have any dates for you. Maybe another member can help.
