Hi all.

I have a large silver locket with a mirror inside, and this makers mark. The half moon and crown mean it is German, of course, but would anybody know what the other mark is?

Thanks

Andy

I also have this mark on a cigarette case.

Can't really make out the second, but the first mark - FB, monogrammed in a circle - is Fritz Bemberg of Pforzheim, a 20th century silver manufacturer.

Hope this helps!

Thanks very much blakstone, it helps a great deal. One out of two isn't bad at all.
I'll try and take a better pic of the second mark.

Regards

Andy
