bazsi Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I have an Ethiopian Order of Holy Trinity grand cross breast star in my collection. It has a hallmark which is unknown for me. It looks like the the top row has two letters 'A' and 'B'. What do you think it could be Arthus Bertrand as the manufacturer? What does the other marks mean? Thanks, Balazs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oamotme Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Balazs, I think it reads, in abbreviation, 'Arthus Bertrande et Cie' ( and Company). The lower mark is probably some manner of French regulatory or silver mark. Kind regards, Owain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazsi Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Owain, Thank you for your kind help. I am trying to check the French silver marks, maybe I can find some informations. Kind regards, Balazs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazsi Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 I have found that the lower mark is also an Arthus-Bertrand mark. It is a wheel gear and a star above. The AB & Cie and the lower mark together was used from 1911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
