<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 442, member: 44"]Terry, I really haven't any help for you other than to say the mark on our right in the circle looks a little bit like a Mexican eagle mark. Nowww I doubt it is Mexican, but thought I'd throw out my first impression. Look at page 9, fig, I-5a, in this online Hougart's The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks book. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=4n7_jNrBp9EC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://books.google.com/books?id=4n7_jNrBp9EC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false" rel="nofollow">http://books.google.com/books?id=4n7_jNrBp9EC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I can find no silversmith with the initials of GAB or CAB in this Mexican silver marks book.
