Hello All!
Received a call from an old friend that inherited a few years ago, a set of ornate flatware from an Aunt. The best she can tell me is that the marks she can read say Peru sterling .925 & something else she can't read impressed in a rectangle with 4 or 5 letters she can't make out. The only other info she can see if that the blade of the knives say Sheffield.....England.
She does not have a computer & I don't know when I can get there to see if I can see anything better than her.
I have tried looking for Peruvian silver makers but very little info is out there. I found Camusso, & Suardo but the marks don't seem to match.
Can anyone help please?
Thank you as always for any info. If I get anymore I will let you know.
BTW Under no circumstances will this be for sale.

Besides Camusso, Welsch is another big Peruvian maker.

Hi Kayvee & vathek,

Thank you so much for your info. I will see if I can get what the mark looks like from a on line search so I can have it to bring with me when I see her.
If you think of anyone else I'd appreciate the heads up!
