[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 26917, member: 50"]Welcome to this nice board! In the event you decide it's not silver, I do have quite a few books on pewter marks including Tardy's book on French pewter and I'd be happy to look. I did just a quick look and the crown does look similar to the (not very clear in the book) poinçons officiels des mesures décimales sous le Second Empire (1861 à 1873) une couronne impériale. (official hallmarks decimal measures under the Second Empire (1861-1873) imperial crown) [ATTACH=full]6687[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
