rowland Posts: 2 Registered: Dec 2004	posted 12-20-2004 07:09 AM Can you tell me what is Australian silver. I have spoons with "australian silver" written on them at the back together with hallmarks. I believe they are quite old, they come from my husbands family. IP: Logged

rowland Posts: 2 Registered: Dec 2004	posted 12-23-2004 01:17 PM Thank you for your reply to my message Waylander, but it says clearly on the back of the spoons Australian Silver. I will ask my mother in law as we got them from her if she knows more about it Regards Ursula IP: Logged
Patrick Street Posts: 24 Registered: Sep 2003	posted 12-23-2004 04:43 PM Rowland, you mentioned that there are other hallmarks on the spoons. Can you describe them or better still post a photo? By the way a lot of Australian silver bears the hallmark STG.SIL IP: Logged
