<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 1241307, member: 29"]Most Indian colonial silver is unmarked. You have to have seen a bit to recognise it, or have a look at online images. Yours sounds more like an open salt: the shield simply means that whoever bought it never got round to monogramming it. If yours is ornately worked, embossed, repousse, whatever with motifs that speak to India, then it's probably the real thing. Tends to be lots of scrolls and curlicues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
