<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Raluca, post: 4282026, member: 17711&quot;][ATTACH=full]343414[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]343415[/ATTACH] Hello, I tried getting in touch with both Truus Daalder and Marjorie Ransom, unfortunately I didn&#039;t get any answers. Today I got a Hirz with the same silversmith&#039;s hallmark. Most of the hirzes I&#039;ve seen online have rather barely visible hallmarks but this one reads very clearly. After I did some googling on hirzes and maker&#039;s mark I came across this blog</p><p><a href="http://antiquesilverjewelry.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-makers-mark-is-historical.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://antiquesilverjewelry.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-makers-mark-is-historical.html" rel="nofollow">http://antiquesilverjewelry.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-makers-mark-is-historical.html</a></p><p>The pictures are no longer there, but I managed to get one off of pintrest. It appears that the silversmith who signed both my bangle and hirz is a guy from the Saleh family, Yahia Saleh. I&#039;m not sure whether Anna Garner, the author of the blog has anything to do with Garner R, the person who wrote an article entitled <i>Maker&#039;s Mark in Yemeni Jewelry</i>, which was published in <b>Ornament</b>, Vol 26 (4) in 2003. I would be very interested in reading that article. I&#039;m attaching a picture of the signed hirz I got today and one of the pintrest link to the aforementioned blog.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
