Italian silver hallmarks
In Italian silver hallmarks, ITALY is origin wording; an extra number in a handle can be a pattern or production number rather than the fineness.
Distinctive marks and standards
A starred mark with a registration number and two province letters identifies the business. The numeric fineness outside it describes the silver. The star in this registration device is not a standalone silver standard.
What to check next
