<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 157758, member: 44&quot;]What surprises me about this brooch is the lack of Portugal silver hallmarks, assay marks. The assay marks have an animal head denoting the city of assay with the silver purity under it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Top of right column has a little on Portuguese assay marks.

There is a very good chance the assay marks aren&#039;t necessary any more. Hopefully others like Cheryl, Baker will come along with more info.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
