[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 340887, member: 2844"]That Diana head with two tiny marks in a rather squat floral cartouche is for Austro-Hungarian silver from 1872-1922. The older, 1867-1872, Diana heads had only one tiny mark added inside the cartouche, a number indicating the fineness. This one has two. The tiny mark on the left looks like 3, which stands for .800 fineness. Is the tiny mark on the right of Diana a D? In that case it would have been made in Brno, present day Czech republic. SK is probably a maker's mark. Yes, it looks like it commemorates something. The symbol in the wreath could be an indication, but I can't make it out from the picture.[/QUOTE]
