Does anyone recognize this mark?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>From what I could determine these are possibly 19th century but I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be early or late 19th century or if they are newer. I am basing my opinion on information I found online as well as the style of the pieces with the heavy gold encrusting. </p><p><br /></p><p>I suck at reading ciphers &amp; monograms so this is the main reason I am posting these pieces.
