I'm sure this piece is German. The quality of the work is quite high. It's marked with a 13 (loth), a mark that looks like an anchor followed by the number 13 or the letter B, and a mark I can't decipher. I believe it is Hanau ca. 1880's or so but can't find the marks in any of the sites on Hanau silver. Would appreciate any opinions, thanks. IP: Logged |

Origin could also be the Netherlands where historicist items with pseudo marks were produced as well, but I don't know of any documentation identifying the pseudos. I gather that official marks may also be present but scattered and hidden anywhere on the piece. Might be worth a hunt with a loupe? IP: Logged |

here are the complete set of marks. I am for the time being attributing this to Schleissner, and believe the first mark is the top of of a swan and he also used the sword and did similar work. IP: Logged |

The marks were not showing up for me. I looked at the code and things seemed OK. But is still wasn't working. It is now working. All I did was put a carriage return before each image. IP: Logged |

Sorry to make more work, we have seen all the parts in the faces post - would it be possible for you to post an image of the whole piece? IP: Logged |

The distortion in the piece is due to camera, it's straight. IP: Logged |
