<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 405314, member: 2844&quot;]I agree with all of the above. Just an explanation of the mark. Austro-Hungarian marks are easy to read.</p><p>For the date you take the numbers in the corners going from left to right, top to bottom. So in this case 1 8 1 4, 1814 as Cheryl already said.</p><p>The town is marked with a letter at the top, A is for the capital, Vienna.</p><p>13 is the silver content, as also explained by Cheryl.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was a great system, when they used it. I have a lot of Austro-Hungarian regional jewellery with no fineness marks and no assay marks. Travelling with a lot of silver and gold to be assayed and marked in the regional capital wasn&#039;t always safe in those days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
