[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 342042, member: 50"]I picked up this little covered round box just 2¾" in diameter. It is marked but the mark appears to be damaged or worn. I've found very similar boxes and most are described as Persian (or maybe just the ones I've found so far). So "Persian" silver I assume would be from today's Iran so the marks would be Iranian. Or so I assume. Anyway, any idea what this mark is saying? Similar boxes, from what I've read, seem to have a maker or locale along with 84 or the Farsi version of 84.
