<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 4177199, member: 10944&quot;]Rad! Thanks Cheryl! Very, very helpful on the ID and link. Glad I went with my gut and nabbed this one up. Seems like the maker has a pretty good reputation and it should move if I go that route with it. It looks like a lot of his work is even smaller in scale, you’re correct. I’m pretty unfamiliar with the world of silver miniatures so to me 3”&nbsp; seemed pretty small already. This guy went really small though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those Dutch silver makers mentioned really went nuts with the pseudo marks. It’s crazy how many are on some of those pieces. They liked to copy pieces from throughout history it said so I guess these handles could be inspired by just about anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guy (Rinze Jans Spaanstra) was Frisian. Don’t we have a proud Frisian here on the boards? It’s not you is it? Assuming it’s not someone should alert them to this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is another cool miniature by RJS that I found.</p><p><a href="https://www.centraalmuseum.nl/en/creator/rinze-jans-spaanstra" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.centraalmuseum.nl/en/creator/rinze-jans-spaanstra" rel="nofollow">https://www.centraalmuseum.nl/en/creator/rinze-jans-spaanstra</a></p><p><br /></p><p>That couple reminds of a movie called ‘Tales From The Hood’. If this mini makes you shudder definitely don’t watch it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
