Any assistance is appreciated! I have a sterling tea service from Mexico (possibly 1940's maybe 1950's). One of the marks is the number 31 inside an eagle. Does anyone know which artist is registered as #31, or if there is a resource book that would have Mexican silversmith marks listed? Thanks

According to Penny Morrill in Silver Masters of Mexico, the eagle 31 indicates that the piece dates from 1949 to 1955 from the Talla Borda. Typically this mark is found in combination with Hecho en Mexico around 925. In her book, she references that mark to several pieces made by Hector Aguilar.
