I've gone through Tardy page by page and am unable to locate the origin. I'd sincerely appreciate any help the members can offer on this one. It appears to be sterling.

I would suggest Hanau as a guess.

Hi,

Yes I agree with Hose, pseudo or fake marks pretending to be Old Dutch guild marks for the city of Deventer.
On the 4th photo, the image to the right looks like a Dutch Dolphin, the 1859-1893 duty mark for new unguaranteed objects of national origin with the ‘export key’1853-1953, to indicate 2/3 marking duty restitution upon export.

Hi

I will add. On a subject there is a French mark for import. "Charançon"

Best Reg..

Hi All,

Yes I agree with Dad; oval frame-shaped weevil mark, 4th photo, left image and up site down. French Import silver mark used 1864-1893, imported items of both gold and silver could be of any standard and still legally sold once brought into France. Items imported from a treaty country were stamped with an oval frame-shaped weevil mark (Charançon).
Imported items from a non-treaty country were struck with the rectangular frame-shaped ET mark. The ET was for Étranger, the French word for foreign.

Regards,

Oel
