[ATTACH=full]246215[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]246216[/ATTACH] Because of the thistle I guessed it might be Scottish, but couldn't interpret the marks... [ATTACH=full]246217[/ATTACH] After reading that Scottish silver marks often included a lion, I was inspired to turn the picture upside down and now the left mark looks like a lion to me... [ATTACH=full]246218[/ATTACH] So, now it looks to me like a lion, a trefoil, and a script "L"...what do they look like to you and/or do you know what they indicate? Thanks!
