<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 24503, member: 44"]Wellll, I have been looking at these marks off and on since you posted this query without any luck in IDing them. I was hoping someone would have the answer by now. Maybe this reply will draw more attention to your query resulting in an ID. I have tried editing the pics in hope of definitely IDing the letters in the middle mark. My edited pics aren't any better than than your pics.</p><p><br /></p><p>The punch on our left is "AB." The punch in the middle could be "CW," "GW," "EW" ... I'm just not sure of that 1st letter written in that script, but think the 2nd letter is a "W." Of course that may not be a "W." The punch on the right is a crown.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no official country hallmarks so it is silverplate. As to whether this side of the Atlantic or the other, I'm not sure.
