    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    it is! And I MAY have posted it some time ago....I just couldn't find it if I did......has several marks though....still learning my way around the new iPhone's settings, and saved the images as 'medium', so sorry they're not bigger, but I DID save the marks larger! ALMOST forgot the measure- ments! 3 1/2" Long, 1 1/2" Wide... 1.79 oz or 51gr. Again, I appreciate ANY/ALL help! I did see just ONE on ebay today.....kind of similar......mine does not SAY STERLING, the one on ebay does.......THANK YOU for your HELP...ALWAYS!!!

    They're Dutch pseudo-marks and official marks, maker Hooijkaas - should be more regulation marks (a Minerva-head and a date letter), likely scattered on the front...

    Would they have gone to all the trouble of putting these marks on it if it were not silver?

    UPDATE--EDIT!! @DragonflyWink, Hang on.....I think I just found Minerva's head!!! Just sent image to myself!! Had NO CLUE marks were on the front too!!! Not sure what the 'partial circle' is near the bottom arrow where one would hook items on to OR would that possibly be the date letter you're referring to (C or D)??

    Sorry, don't understand the question, was there implication that it's not silver? It is solid silver, 2nd standard/.833, bearing all four proper hallmarks along with pseudo-marks intended to insinuate greater age.




    Heh, looking for those scattered little marks can be frustrating - the date letter (near the bottom) is fuzzy for me, but looks like it's probably either the 1912 'C' or 1916 'G'.

    The Ebay piece in the link looks like a poorly cast copy.

    Then again, if you look at the face on mine, it looks just about as bad as this reversed one........BUT then look closely at this reversed ebay one.....and look closely on the FAR RIGHT SIDE....towards the edge....midway ..... where I just put a RED arrow.....it looks like there's a BOAR'S HEAD (?) that ISN'T on the LEFT SIDE of mine above......so, I just plain GIVE UP!!!!!
    Close-ish, but definitely differences!!!! She's almost, but not quite got a "sister":happy::happy: Velly, velly strange:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::woot::cool:

    That is exactly what I was thinking. I know it is strange that the marks are there but when you see multiples of a supposedly old item it sets off the alarm bells.

    Pretty sure it is Hanau, no reason for all the hallmarks on such a small piece and the hallmarks don't make sense. JMHO
