I'm trying to determine the age of a silver
Poison Ring from Mexico.
It has 3 hallmarks:
-
STERLING SILVER
- A number
3 in a unknown shape
- A text bend into a circle, all I can read in it is
Mexico
Any help in identification very appreciated.

This will explain the "Eagle 3" mark (showing samples at top of Type 1 and Type 2/Silhouette):

The circular mark reads "TAXCO MEXICO 925" and likely contains the makers three initials inside...too stylistic to easily decipher from the photo.

You'll have to orient it with the 925 at the bottom to read the initials, so flip it over. (In this case, the 925 faces outward rather than inward...if you can see that.)

Hi,
Number 3 is generic mark for Taxco.
