Hello:
I’ve a possibly very old, possibly Spanish silver crucifix. Stamped into this are the two pictured hallmarks. These are, I believe, the same mark - perhaps the first strike yielded the incomplete mark and was this struck again. These are small, measuring less tyhan 1/8" horizontally.
The mark appears to read MP.
Will appreciate any thoughts on identifying this mark.
Whole item photo, please.
Thank you for this advice. Is my first post. Have added an image of the entire piece.
Based on the style, I would be very surprised if this were any earlier than mid-20th Century.
Alas, Spanish silver marks are very poorly documented, so there’s not much to go on. If it were a coin, the “MP” would indicate the Madrid Mint, but it’s not, so we’re left to guess. Bonham’s faced a similar conundrum:
Thank you for this observation.
