[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 235779, member: 360"]Hey Folks, Picked up this battered, silver beaker at the market. Has an inscription on it: [B][I]"Erindring af mine Brodre" [/I][/B][I]= [/I]Danish = [I][B]"In Remembrance of my Brothers" [/B][/I] That being the case, I would believe the hallmarks on the base to be Danish as well: [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/a1/d8/ae/a1d8ae3c09f01cab8775b80d3d4b1a7d.jpg[/IMG] Marks on the base: [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/8e/98/44/8e9844ad51cd8827001412288b1c20cf.jpg[/IMG] In case you can't read them, they are: L: 13 1/3 M: PD (presumably the maker's mark). R: Unsure. T: Seven dots or circles. Three on top, four beneath, inside an oval. B: 6M or 9W stacked on top of each other. The Danish hallmarking system was upgraded in 1893 to include FOUR marks. This has FIVE. I assume therefore that this would be older. Any insights?? --- --- --- 13 1/3 might be 13.3 Loth (812 purity German/Austrian Silver)?[/QUOTE]
