<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 11663666, member: 111"]Can't really add much, the 19th century Schwäbisch Gmünd unicorn is pretty distinctive, though I do find the fractional '13¼' löth (.828) mark atypical for German silver, it's fairly common on Norwegian silver and occasionally Danish as well, but would expect to see just '13' (or a '12' or even much less common '14' on this piece). The other marks are a bit too difficult for these old eyes to discern (and might not be familiar to me anyway), can only post a similar 1850 unicorn mark:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]546950[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
