Can anyone help with date and hallmarks of this mirror please?
I tried everywhere, in Germany there was a sort of "unicorn" that looks like this, but the shield was another form.
Thanks by advance!

Hello,

The Unicorn really looks like the mark for GMUND Germany during the XVIIIth century. I found this mark in Tardy's Poincons d'argent 22nd edition, page 39.

Hope this could help. Maybe you should post it in German silver forum

Best Regards
Myriam

In reply to the advice to post it in the German silver, I'm sorry but it was not possible, I tried but I got a message from the administrator one should post an item only in one category (see the rules) , so it's too late to post it in the right one, I didn't know it was German...
