<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 26134, member: 111"]Not sure why the re-mark sometimes appears on Polish silver of this era when no older or foreign marks are present, have seen it questioned before without any clear answer. Was a pretty tumultuous time in Poland, perhaps the silver material itself was imported and whatever party official was in charge decided to add that mark. Those marks are pretty typical, the mark on the left, which I read as either 'PY 1/2' or 'PT 1/2', should be the maker's mark - personally, have little doubt by both marks and appearance, that its original manufacture dates to the 1963-86 window...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
