    I’m intrigued by the hallmark so if anyone can help I’d be happy!
    Slightly nondescript pendant with MOP on one side and something red on the other . Yellow flashing through it. About an inch across. My research so far has failed me.
    Hallmark is KP and what looks to me like either a horse and rider or a carousel horse but I have been known to see horses when they aren’t there :hilarious:
    Thankyou :)

    A little drum, that is so sweet.:)
    That's what it looks like to me.
    It reminds me of a 17th-18th century mark for Wolfenbüttel in Germany, but of course it is much too recent for that.

    It's really pretty. Are there more letters with the horse? Looks like the letter V above the head. I also see a horse. Like Paul Revere on a fast running horse with a bell in hand yelling " The British are coming, the British are coming. I have a very vivid imagination. Ha ha.

    I see 2 Vs - one on either side of his head, as if coming up from his shoulders.

    Knew it was Baltic, but just couldn't dig it out of my memory banks - when I see a newish mark that isn't particularly common, I usually start with a look at the International Convention assay office marks: https://theassayoffice.com/international-convention-marks

    Collecting Scandinavian silver, I often see the Cyprus fish mark on .830 silver pieces, usually typical Lefkara-style filigree - have stopped telling sellers that their pieces are Cypriot, won't believe me at all if they don't have that mark, and even if present, seldom matters to them anyway...

    On the outside rim of the front of the piece I also see what looks like the letters AXJ or is it just me?

    It's just some scratches but well spotted.

    What I am seeing is first photo. Facing the piece it would be on the right side of the bale. Looks to precise to be scratches. (QXJ) Not sure. I enlarged it but can't figure out how to send it back to you. Thanks.
