Well, my Tardy book appears to be lost in the mail, and so I haven't been able to check continental mark listings for the following. They may also be silverplate marks, and so I'm posting here. Would anyone care to venture an opinion on the following hallmarks? (Note: converted to grayscale, 72 ppi!)

Thanks!

Thanks, wev! How come the pic didn't post? Did I mess up on the leading/trailing characters? I made sure to truncate it to 73 ppi this time!

Thanks again, wev. Square brackets, of course. I was going to tell you how my CRS is going, but I forgot. wink

Might be my monitor, but the date letter looks more like the 1891 "G" to me.

It is hard to say from the image; could be "O" for 1898, too. Some careful cleaning might be in order.
