You are correct. When the Minerva was stamped, the article was rested on a support which was itself engraved with an intricate pattern (of insects), so both marks went on at once. This was to make faking/forging hallmarks more difficult. If you can post a clearer image of the maker's mark, someone may recognise it. IP: Logged |

The makers mark is very obscured through wear. Would you take a closer look at it and and verify if the animal in the lozenge is a horse, cow, Pegasus or some other creature? Is it at all possible to make out the first partner's initial on the lefrt side of the lozenge? I attempted to identify the maker through the Ministry of Culture data base with only "& G" and Cheval (if the image is really of a horse at all and found no matches. IP: Logged |
