<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 82806, member: 738"]<b>This reply will not be in the least helpful for identification.. however, when I studied silver in my graduate program at the Smithsonian, my silver professor Jennifer Goldsborough right off the bat told us to simply ignore any marks on a piece. Chances are they were either forged or made up by some rogue silversmith outside the confines of the silversmiths guild. She taught us to train ourselves to identify style characteristics of individual artists and make our attributions from there. </b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
