Featured 800 Silver Bracelet

Saw this bracelet today...

and didn't buy it....,
but still curious to know if someone recognizes the marks

 

The 3 should be inside a Mexican Eagle mark (aka a bell to the uninitiated , but isn't. Is the other a weevil?

 

The 3 mark doesn't seem to have the right shape (too oblong-y?) to be the Mexican eagle. To me, it looks more like an amphora. But I could be completely wrong, as the mark might look different in the pic than in real life, and the marks were too small and/or my eyesight is too bad to be able to see with my own eyes how they actually looked.
Absolutely no idea what the other mark is.

 

Design doesn't look Mexican.

Debora

 

It doesn't look Mexican to me either. Central European somewhere would be a better fit.

 

Someone actually does (no guessing).
On the left the Dutch cursive script I (inlands) mark for silver below legal fineness, and on the right a Dutch mark for appendages (aanhangsels), in this case the safety chain. The 3 stands for the weight in grams (of the chain).

 

Even knowing what I should be seeing there on the left, I'm still not seeing it

And is that 3 inside an image of something? Is it the double sword?

 

It is the second one from the right, only a different weight:

 

Thanks!

 

Looking at it again, it could be the old Dutch cursive script V (vreemd) mark for foreign silver. Did it have an 800 mark somewhere? If so, it could have been imported from Germany, back in the day.

But it would be strange that a foreign made and marked item is also punched with the 'aanhangsel' mark for Dutch made silver. So back to the cursive script I?

 

what kept u from purchasing this item..?

 

Probably the price tag$$$. Silver scrap right now is at a great price if you're selling, but $tupidly high if you aren't used to retail.

 

I wouldn't want to be buying a gold chain now at retail , either !

 

Yes, marked 800 on the clasp.

That I can see ... now that you've mentioned it

and it was for a small wrist

 

Too small and $illy money = "nahhh, leave it for the next guy" for me too. If I find one for 10% of melt, it goes home no matter what.

 

That is essential information, because it means it isn't Dutch.
Given the style/technique, it is likely German.

 

I mentioned the 800 in the title, and then forgot to mention (where) it was marked as such

 

forgiven........!

 

Marote is always forgiven!
