JapanX Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Please tell more about the French import mark….. This Swan mark has been used since 1st July, 1893 and up to 1970 it was struck on articles coming from non-contracting countries. In addition it is struck on silverware of the legal standard of fineness, but of unknown origin, which is sold at public auctions From 'A Guide to Old French Plate' by Louis Carre "The decree of June 29, 1893, discontinued the use of the 'ET' mark which had been created on January 13, 1864, for marking plate coming from countries without customs conventions, and replaced it by an 'owl' in an oval frame for gold and a 'swan' for silver. This reform had been rendered necessary by the Customs Law of January 11, 1892, which stipulated that all imported gold and silver plate should comply with the same conditions as plate manufactured in France" + Edited August 20, 2014 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
