<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 85669, member: 44"]At the moment can't help on the maker; however, will note that the markings are not consistant on city. The marks in the 4th pic are for Mexico City. The D.F. under Mexico is for the Distrito Federal (Federal District of Mexico City). The 6th pic has the markings for the city of Taxco. Wonder what is after Taxco that begins with GH or CH?? The 4th pic seems to have the initials "T.J." Or T.U. After the silver purity .925 mark. Wonder if TJ are the maker's initials for the silver made in Mexico City and the GH or CH the initials of the maker for the silver made/assayed in Taxco? I can't find these initials so far in Hougart's <i>The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>I don't see a Mexican eagle mark, which may means it was made before 1948 or possibly after 1980???</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
