I have a canteen of cutlery with hallmarks I’m unsure of. Can anyone please help with some info.
Many thanks,
James

Hi,
This is the coat of arms of Hungarian Lonay family - nine pearls in the crown = Graff or Count.
(Count Menyhért Lónyay de Nagylónya et Vásárosnamény was the Prime minister of Hungary from 1871 to 1872.
For Diana`s head mark see here:

Try to identify the letter (assay office).

Very much appreciated, thank you. Looking at the head marks it looks like the markings from 1872-1922 but head from the earlier period. Although this could just be where it’s so small and tarnished making it difficult to see properly. Many thanks once again

Definitely 1872-1922, number 3 on the left for .800 fineness and there should be a letter in front of the head to determine assay office.

Thank you very much for this

Hi,

It's likely that it will be a 'P', for Pest.

Many years ago we had a question:

The two intermediate ladles with the deep monograms have the same marks. The Diana head shows the third standard and 'P' for the city of Pest. What does the wheat mark signify?

Unfortunately the images are no longer viewable, but it is likely perhaps to be the same mark as shown above.
