Heavy Hadida - hallmarks

    Dear Betty,

    you describe 3 fadet silver marks and the number 8, but on the top you can see another mark, a small square,  maybe with grapes or a head inside, if it so, i think the item was produced between 1900-1950, or a little bit later. 

    Best regards

    Paul
