FredZ Posts: 1070 Registered: Jun 99	posted 10-29-2003 01:18 PM Your tips were made in Guadalajara in the Mexican state of Jalisco. The eagle stamps with a number were assigned to identify the different taller shops or manufacturers in the country. Some research has been done to assign these numbers to the makers but this is sketchy and often not reliable. The initials are possibly the name of the silversmith. Good luck IP: Logged
