Maltese silver ?

Thank you.

 

Hi there,

Sorry for your loss, I also came across a piece quite recently and wondered if you could shed some light on this as I did find it quite intriguing and wasn't sure if perhaps it was someone making or trying to make a replica, But then I thought why would anyone go through such trouble hallmarking a piece with a recent silver marking and then I figured perhaps it was more for personal use.

 

She hasn't been here in 2 years....... maybe others have ideas !

 

Oh right, perhaps others could take a look. It would of course helped if I did add an image, which seem not likely due to the image size being to large.

 

You'll have to forgive me as I'm not in knowledge with the correct way to send messages.

 

I know it's difficult to see but the coin is stamped MO,925 and then the Malta silver marking with the letter F and the coin/pendant holder is also marked with the same hallmarks, this is why I assumed it was more of a personal item as appose to a common thing. The coin is self does look very good but of course the weight is not consistent with the Ferdinand von Hompesch (1797-1798) coin which is about 29-28 grams this coin is about 19 grams so the weight is off, which is not a problem as I do intent the keep it. However one did wonder if it could of been made by the above Edward Madiona.

Many thanks in advance for any replys.

Hi, thank you for your reply I assumed it was a medallion of sort, but what caught my attention whilst trying to narrow down the hallmarks I came across a post from another member with the same markings on a different item and a family member commented to say it was her late father who had acutely made the piece so I was wondering if she/he could verify that indeed her father made the piece.

Thank you once again.

 

Thank you kindly.
