Hi All
I wonder if anyone can help with this mark which occurs on what I imagine is Indian Silver, but I may be wrong.
This is the only mark but stamped on each bit; its a large necklace - the mark is stamped 7 times over all.
Appreciated as always, gary
Thank you

I suspect Egypt rather than Iraq...definately "800" and it looks like "Cairo" as the assay city to me. Wait and see what AG2012 has to say as he is better at Egyptian silver than me.
Cheers,
Steve

For what's worth my vote goes to Cairo too, although two little dots are missing/not showing.

Hi Gary,
It is important to show all marks with your first question. Indeed Egypt, Cairo and year letter for Sept.1994 - Feb. 1996
