This is a real puzzle for me, the five pointed star and the numbers 374 with, the nearest l got was Spanish, but the numbers have thrown me out as it seems a very low grade of silver, it might be plate ?
Look forward to any help please.
Regards
Nigel

Hi Nigel,
It will be Spanish, and silver. The other mark identifies the silversmith, with a letter and a number, the letter identifies the city.
If you can make out the letter, perhaps someone has access to a resource that has the names of the silversmiths.

I believe that the missing letter is "B" therefore belong to silversmith:
J. A. Olmedo. S. A. Calle Sardenya, 345 Barcelona Spain.
(Sure it's 374 and not 376, right?)
Yo creo que la letra que falta es una "B" por lo tanto pertenecerÃa al platero:
J. A. Olmedo. S. A. Calle Sardenya, 345 Barcelona España.
(Seguro que es 374 y no 376, verdad?)
