Crocodile Mark Posts: 55 Registered: Feb 2002	posted 10-30-2002 10:54 PM I have just acquired a fish knife and spoon combination, hand engraved with 'New Zealand' on the blade. The handle appear to be green stone or jade. Very old be appearance. The backs are marked with makers mark of A*M within a rectangle with concave sides. Both marked sterling. Any information would be nice......... New Zealand information seems very hard to get. Mark IP: Logged

Bill H Posts: 31 Registered: Jan 2002	posted 11-03-2002 10:55 PM Shepard shows the mark you describe on page 228 of the marks section. Unfortunately, it is listed as "A.M. unidentifed". IP: Logged
Crocodile Mark Posts: 55 Registered: Feb 2002	posted 11-04-2002 02:53 AM thanks to the both of you for your time ...... I'll just have to guess at the date of manufacture. New Zealand Silversmiths always seem to give me problems.... Mark IP: Logged
