<p>[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 180637, member: 25"]They do appear to be fake marks. The king's head mark is a real caricature. I would not be surprised to find it was coin sillver. It was not uncommon to overstamp another's marks if you bought a shop's stock or took over a shop. No records of Silversmiths in mid 19th C Troy? Not the real one of course, the one in New York state.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
