I found this bangle mixed in among crappy bangles inside a plastic container. I saw enough of the stamps to know it was silver, so plunked down my 75 cents. :-)))) I gave it a good clean, which revealed the full marks.
From what I can glean from the web that is a boar's head. I'm not sure what that partial mark is directly under the boar's head. Kyra is thumbing through her book to see if she can find the mark.
This is a large bangle - 2 3/4 inch diameter and 25.97 grams. Much too big for my wrist, boo hoo! I also am not sure of age, so kyra should be able to clear that up for me, too. I don't want much, lol!
:-)))))
Thanks to all who stop for a peek!

Hi Bonnie!
It is a boar's head, but not the french one... see the frame around the mark and details of the head on pic 4 there:

I'll have a look to my Tardy book to find yours :-)
Thanks, kyra! I hope you can find the mark. The French mark was the closest thing I found, at least so far.
For the moment, I think the A925 is the silver mark and the boar and letter a maker's mark. Will see in the book :-)
For the age... 70', but it is only a guess, I bought zig zag silver bangles in that spirit then...
kyra - yes, the A925 is the sterling mark, but I haven't managed to find out yet who marks with an "A". I still haven't a clue what that partial mark/letter is supposed to be underneath the boar head. :-(((((
A925 for Belgium, since 1942!
Amazing what you guys find over there in Europe!
Ooh, thanks kyra!! I might end up going to Belgium with the bangle and ask at a jewelry shop. It's only 15 minutes to Maasmechelen.
Celiene - some days it can be a treasure trove of finds over here. :-))))))
