Hello,
I have a Basket which is marked 925 Sterling Chester 1901. But there are some other marks, which I can`t identify. Can anybody help me?
Many thanks for Your response

Harald,
The BM stands for Berthold Muller who imported pieces to England from Germany I believe.
The F stands for foreign and was used between 1867 and 1904 on imported pieces.
I imagine the other marks are German.

Thank You Miles.
Any idea who the maker was and when the item was produced ?
I guess, it was produced before 1884, because the halfmoon is missing.
regards
Harald

The German marks are Hanau fantasy or pseudo-marks, your piece was probably brand new when imported into the U.K., the manufacturer would be Neresheimer.
