<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 4614023, member: 10944"]The item has a lot more going for it than this or most any mark would give it. It’s a pretty neat thing and if I happen to get it I’ll show y’all. I have a feeling it will go quite a bit beyond where I’m willing to chase it but stranger things have happened. It certainly could have an assay mark hidden somewhere and likely does. If not it was probably polished off. Or made for a specific American who got it out of France after obtaining it directly from the smith without it being assayed. I wonder if that ever happened? The seller doesn’t specialize in silver and even when they sell it they don’t research it much. Considering the placement of this mark I’d say it being polished off was likely. It’s not in a friendly spot for preservation. Or knowing the French maybe they hid the assay mark well. Anywho thanks for your feedback. It’s value will be in its form and American crest but of all the foreign places it could have been made I like France.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
