<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 9585865, member: 5398"]I was referring to the B-213 mark shown in the second photo and wondered if a second letter is missing since it was stamped so close to the edge of the cross. But I didn't think about the numbering system only including 2 digits as you pointed out (I suppose it's next to impossible there could be 213 silversmiths in one city with a name starting with the same letter).</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't know if the chain came with the cross originally. I bought another ethnic silver cross at the same estate sale that didn't include a chain. The chain with the Yalalag cross seems to be a good match, but I'm curious about the LK and V2 marks. Maybe you're right about the cross possibly being made by a Mexican artisan silversmith in the US, and the chain is from another US silversmith.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
