Hi All

After many false attempts over the years, am finally taking a deep breath and attempting to post a picture of some unknown (to me) hallmarks, with this one being the first. The mark is on a heavy gauge 5.5" down turned fiddle with a round drop.

Anyone know of it?

Thanks!

Attributed to Sunshing, Canton, first half of 19thC, in "Chinese Export Silver" by Forbes, Kernan & Wilkins (Museum of the American China Trade, Mass., 1975).

Hi adelapt
Thank you for your so quick attribution and the reference information. I do not think I would have discovered that hallmark for quite some time, if ever. Thank you !!
