<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 11071, member: 44"]Sue nailed it. That is definitely the Dutch hexagon stamp with a Lion Passant denoting "2nd standard purity = minimum .833." As Sue said, the key butting up to the lion stamp denotes "object designated for export." The mark to the immediate right of the lion mark looks like the Netherland's Minerva head duty stamp. I can't mark out the letter on the head stamp that would be for the assay office. The stamp to the far right is probably the letter date code that I can't make out either. The stamp below is probably the maker's mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]2513[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
