    Hi everyone,

    I ended up buying this chalice/goblet late one night searching online. I’m very very curious if someone can help me with the marks: performed very very well on the ice cube test, this metal feels heavy… don’t want to get too excited, but any help with the marks would be tremendous:

    Wondering if there is any chance for clearer photos of the marks? Just thinking might help someone better get to the bottom of this. :)

    I will definitely try today, the marks are small and most of the photos are with my loupe

    The cartouche of the lower mark on Nate's is shaped like the Porto assay mark cartouche, but I will wait for sharper photos to say more.

    Much.:)
    The top one is the eagle's head with 833 (fineness) below it, Porto 1938-1984.
