[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 200029, member: 59"]Hi Libby! Happy New Year! I have to admit that my first look at the set had me thinking India or Middle Eastern, but seeing the Sterling stamp has me rethinking that. Then I saw Bdigger's post about Malta - had the same issue with the word sterling. But that sent me looking for more info on Malta. Which took me here - [URL]http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=33204[/URL] Scroll down about 3/4's of the way down the landing page and you will see at least 3 different versions of the Malta "open hand" mark. But you will also see that when it was used there were other marks that accompanied it - and no Sterling. I would also discount those German examples for the same reason. Sorry that all that leaves us back at square one. Maybe Cheryl will see this tomorrow and better thoughts than ! did.[/QUOTE]
