Hi friends, I got in some old spoons A W. Thomson. George Savage spoons, and these ones. I don’t recognize the mark but realize a lot of coin silver - old stuff isn’t really hallmarked- or clearly marked/- would these be coin?
I think it’s from Portugal, Porto.
P, crowned, above two towers - is that of Alexandre Pinto da Cruz, who served as chief assayer in Porto from 1810-1818.
Thank you!
The assayer mark isn’t really identifying the purity to me.
I thought maybe 800+, because of your research.
I just filed one well and I am getting 750 on the XRF.
So it is silver but perhaps was represented as a higher content to the public
as 800 is usually the standard.
Appreciate your time!
Susan
