[26-2532]

Hello,

I am a silver nut, mostly more concerned about marks more than items and have been collecting silver for about 50 years. One day I got curious about what some of these marks might mean and have been addicted ever since. My hobby is [looking at auctions] reading hallmarks and telling the sellers what they have. I often get very interesting reactions. I LOVE doing the research and would love to discuss these types of issues with anyone who has similar interests. I usually use Tardy, Jackson, [on-line sites], Rosenberg, Davis, etc..

I hope to hear from folks doing research.

I am very pleased. It's me you're looking for.
Where are you from?
Which regions are your specialty? My area is Germany before 1888th.
I'm sure you know my little "reference book" about german hallmarks.

Hi Scott

Thanks for the reply and you are correct I did just respond but that was a response to my own post as is this reply but how do I reply to Silberpunze or to you outside of this specific topic?

Und Mein Herr
Ich habe einen stempel, dessen bedeutung ich nicht kenne. Ich gluabe, er ist von Nuernberg aber ich bin nicth nicht sicher.

[And my Lord I have a stamp, whose importance I don't know. I gluabe, I'm not sure, but he is from Nuremberg.]

It looks OK - ca. 1820
Makersmark: R
in the book of Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nürnberger Goldschmiede ... , Nr. 1049 - some makers are possible: Johann Conrad Reuter [711] (1817-1839) or Johann Raschka [688] (1814-1829) or Johann Leonhard Rösch [736] (1797-<1838) or Johann Egidus Rösch [734] (1796-<1838)

there was a date-letter (B) (1769-1773) - but your spoon is about from 1820

I do not know what this letter means - the last date-letter was an O (ca.1808)

Thank you so much...

You are certainly the MAN for early German marks....

I use three sites to explore German marks one of them is <gone from the internet> silberpunze.1x.de/index.php are you connected with that...it seems to be down a lot lately...I have been able to use these sites in the past to find a few identifications... I also use the University of Heidelberg's download of Rosenberg's book but am limited by my poor German

Again Thank you so much...
