Patrick Vyvyan Posts: 640 Registered: May 2003	posted 03-08-2005 11:14 AM [01-2273] I suspect this is relatively modern - perhaps even post-Communist, and comes from Russia, Poland etc. Can anyone help with more precise information? Many thanks! IP: Logged

The mark on the small foto could be the mark of GDANSK (Danzig), a town where the Polish amber manufacturing center is. The mark on the bigger photo is the hallmark/assay mark of Warszaw for the silver content 925/1000. For better understanding I enclose this hallmark. Hope that helps Sazikov2000 IP: Logged

Patrick Vyvyan Posts: 640 Registered: May 2003	posted 03-08-2005 04:11 PM Very many thanks! Do you have any idea how long the current Polish marks have been in use? IP: Logged
sazikov2000 Posts: 254 Registered: Jan 2005	posted 03-08-2005 07:21 PM As far as I know, this hallmarks are in use since April 3rd 1993 Sazikov2000 IP: Logged
Arg(um)entum Posts: 304 Registered: Apr 2002	posted 03-16-2005 04:41 PM Patrick, Where is the mark that you show in the separate small picture. It's puzzling to have on a single little spoon the current mark from Warshaw, and another mark from Gdansk assuming that the first character is a "G" though it reads a bit like a '6'. Does anyone know what time period this second mark would be from? IP: Logged
