Acid-etched marks can be hard to see at times. Try viewing the bottoms of the pieces next to a sunny window or under a strong light. You may have to tilt the pieces in different directions to catch a glimpse of any signatures or marks. There could also be marks on the metal pieces so dig out a magnifying glass &amp; look there also. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>This link is to a similar one offered up on 1st Dibs.
