<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 228624, member: 44"]That is probably an eagle. Mexican newer style eagle hallmarks (1955-1980) look like bells. The eagles had numbers on them that were associated with a silver company, designer or maker, or location. The eagle was suppose to guaranttee a purity of .925; however, some were faked. I can't see the markings well enough for a definite ID. I can see an SP, but can't see the other markings. At the moment we are about to have dinner, and we just arrived home after over a month snow birding. Later tonight will check Hougart's <i>The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
