What a great find.

Following your lead, I found an Ethiopian medal that has a similar crown to the one on the silver beaker.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I may try to contact the maker as they are still in operation.
Happy New Year!

Thank you for this! I would never have guessed Ethiopia. Some extra research for me! Happy New Year.

The Cypher of Henri II and Catherine de Médicis or Henri II & Diane de Poitiers?

Good day.
I'm new to the forum but have a quick introduction on the newcomers thread.
However, I joined up as I often find copper cookware with cypher & monogram inscriptions.

Any help with this one would be greatly appreciated 🙏

All the best, Steve

Victoria & Albert ?

It is almost identical to the monogram of the Dutch King, here on a button worn on uniforms of his palace staff: https://www.paleisamsterdam.nl/media....width-500.jpg

Many thanks Duc_et_Pair.
I think you are right. Ideal!
I have found the exact mark searching for "Victoria and Albert cypher"

Thanks for your suggestion.

All the best, Steve

[Newlyn Tinning]

Good day all.
Hope you can help with the ID of any of these three marks?
Sourced from France so I presume they are french marks?

Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.

All the best, Steve

This is a travelling inkwell.. probably late 19thC
I would appreciate any help in identifying the monogram
Thank you

[Newlyn Tinning]

Hi all & hope you are weathering the storm well.
Would I be right in saying this is the mark of Louis Philippe I...?

Any identification help would be greatly appreciated.

Stay safe & all the best, Steve

It are most likely heraldic rank crowns:

The first one is the heraldic rank crown of a British Earl.

The second is the heraldic rank crown of a Continental Count (Germany, the Low Countries, Austria).

The third one is the heraldic rank crown of a baron in Spain and Portugal.

Hi !

Can anyone identify this very old monogram? this cypher appears on a old lock which was made in XVII or XVII centuries...

Could this be the dual cypher of Archduke Albert of Austria and Infanta Isabella of Spain who were sovereigns of the Spanish Netherlands ca. 1600??

thanks a lot!!!

Interesting and quite precise in it's decor.
I hope someone identifies the lock; I will be keen to know the history.
I see an A.

[Goldberry]

It is an intriguing mystery! Do I see two "C" s back-to-back with interlocking curves? Good luck solving this! [emoji4]

Do you know which were the Royal Cyphers, Coronets, Arms and Monograms of Princess Mafalda of Savoy - Hesse?

[Jarema]

Greetings, I am very new here and hope that I am doing things correctly.
A good friend of mine died and left me these two silk or satin photo pouches?
Each of which have a monogram that I have not been able to identify. They are approximately 6 x 9 inches in size. Perhaps they held an invitation or something like that. I will try to attach images of these items.
Thank you in advance for reading my post and pondering my mystery.
Cheers,
Jarema

Dear All,

I am hoping someone may be able to help me identify a monogram on the stock of an antique shotgun. It is a gold crown with a distinctive letter H underneath. I believe the crown may signify a royal monogram or cipher, but I am no expert in such matters.

Hopefully the picture below may help

Thank you

[Tim1234]

I believe the 'crown' is actually the coronet of a Marquis (but the H remains a mystery). The gun was manufactured in 1859/1860
