[QUOTE="kactus 100, post: 187042, member: 3384"]Hi - to all you silver buffs - or my case - those who buff silver... If my little bit of knowledge (and ability to search google) is correct this piece has both a [SIZE=4]James Dixon & Sons makers mark, from Sheffield dated 1989 (? never good at dating) plus a german hallmark of a german jeweller/silversmith ? - plus [/SIZE]another numbers[SIZE=4] that [/SIZE]i[SIZE=4] have no idea what they are. so my question is - why?? did James Dixon and sons make it and then send it to german and the other guy put his name on it? or the other way around? or was it joint work? (but if i remember something from my history lessons loooooong ago) I'm not sure that UK and Germany were the best of friends then even pre-wars why leave all the marks on them? couldnt the second guy - who ever it was just polish away the first ones marks and just leave his own? or was there more provenance by having two marks? thanks judith - [ATTACH=full]52613[/ATTACH] [/SIZE][/QUOTE]
