silberpunze Posts: 101 Registered: Nov 2009	posted 06-18-2011 11:08 AM Good pictures of silvermarks are a good start for the determination of hallmarks. Many cheap cameras can unfortunately not take good close-ups. But with a simple trick you can make this kind of images with cheap cameras. The following pictures show a recording that was made with a watchmaker's loupe, which was clamped in front of the lens. A bit of tact and a little practice to get the perfect distance and consider the light - and you get the desired result. IP: Logged
