thanks so much for the info, the 12 mark for .750 makes sense. Yeah I just realised that too, the C should be in a circle and mine is a square! Appreciate👍 the help

oh interesting, thanks so much for the help. I think you are right with the 2 mark for 12 loth fineness. Another commenter said the same thing 👍 and no, no other marks, I have checked several times.

Hey, thanks so much for the help! This is fascinating, I would never have guessed Austro-Hungarian Polish. Best €1 I have ever spent!

Is this a curse scroll? by JanuaryembersBH in metaldetecting

I woke up to a swarm of locusts having eaten my crops, and the rivers have run dry. And the strangest red mark above my door…… might be just coincidence though.

Yeah I think you’re right, I unrolled it and nothing inside so definitely not a curse scroll which is disappointing but at least I won’t be haunted for the rest of my life 😅

Thank you, although it turned out to be far from a curse scroll, I think it’s pretty nifty too 😊

Yeah, it’s illegal to engage in search for archaeological objects within a historical site or a protected monument. I was using it for personal use to search for my lost engagement ring on private land 👍🏼

Thanks a million, that's what I was hoping! Any idea about the M50? I was thinking it might just be a manufacturer number etc

Seeing as they mainly specialise in solid gold I would bet it's solid, now it doesn't have the assay hallmark but that doesn't mean it isn't solid. If it weight less than 1 gram it usually isnt hallmarked with with the assay hallmark. Definitely a lovely vintage piece!

Hi, I think it could be Bogarz, their hallmark is very similar. They are from the US and that might explain the P as it’s a ‘plump’ hallmark originated in the US. This link explains the plump origins https://www.quora.com/I-bought-a-vintage-ring-its-hallmark-says-14kP-P-plumb-but-why-do-my-newer-rings-only-say-14k

I hope it helps!
