<p>[QUOTE="mhc4444, post: 103996, member: 1469"]i believe these marks are a sort of assay mark for pewter, as in guaranteeing the quality and amoubt of tin, maybe guaranteeing the absence of lead?. Im from Denmark and have seen these alot, but havent thought too much about them as they are not on the old pewter which is more interesing. my guess is late 19th century to early 20th. if it gets older there are usually more elaborate and interesting stamped marks on the european pewter. but yes, i believe the marks are danish, or at least german.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
