Hi, all:

(I haven't been around for a year or two and and glad to see that the forum is alive and well). I still do not consider myself a collector but keep buying some pieces that catch my eye to wear and enjoy.

I have a question:

Could you please let me know in which country was my silver and amber necklace made? I enjoy it a lot but I'd like to research how old it is and possibly find who made it. I looked over Russian, Latvian, Finnish hallmarks and a couple of other countries but so far no luck.
Thank you very much in advance.

O.K, seeing my own enlarged photos really helped, I was able to identify the marks as Polish, G probably stands for a city like Gdansk, now on to figuring out the place and the age..

Hello to you, sure you're right, enlarged photos will help.
Always it's good to see corrections of mr.S.Martin. Formely he helped me a lot with wrong sended photos (sizes) and made good corrections. Sometimes I copy a photo,into a negative picture and sometimes it will help too.
I try to find out some idea's about your marks. I only have one book about marks.
The only idea about the period is that perhaps in Poland (also ????) the silver percentage was indicated with standard a (lot)figure.Instead of a lot number the .../1000 silver percentage was stamped. Like 800.
I don't know if this also happened in Poland, in other countries it started around 1880. So your item is after the 1880's.
Greetings Silverhunter
