<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 233089, member: 59"]I don't blame you for not being able to read that - all mushed together. Plus it appears to be in the pre-Fascist style - 1870's to 1933. What I can see is the 800 in oval cartouche, which I assume you know is .800 silver. The mushed part in the middle is probably a maker's mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>What is really odd is on the left - cartouche shaped very much like the one used in the 1934 - 1960's period, but which has what looks like a parrot inside it instead of the proper provincial initials and registered maker's number. I've never seen this before and I can only assume that it too is some maker's device.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
