    I cant find theese stamps anywere, does anyone have a clue, it is a heavy sauce pot, about 300 gram.

    Have spoken with some people and they guess this was made somewere between 1740 - 1790. What do you think?

      Hi from Sydney Australia!
      The mark might be Prussian. I think it is from the city of Liegnitz ( now Legnica in Poland).
      Nice sauceboat!

      Hi again from Sydney!
      I have had another look at these marks and have another suggestion that might make some sense.
      The key mark was also used by a firm in Hanau:
      B. Neresheimer und Söhne
      They were founded in 1893 and became L. Neresheimer & Co in 1904.
      Of import is that they exhibited in the US in twoimportant exhibitions:
      1893 in Chicago at the World's Columbian exhibition
      and in 1904 at the St. Louis International Exhibition.
      It seems mark stamping in Hanau was a free for all. They saw themselves as a free trade centre and the town specialized in doing reproductions of "antique silver".
      Again I am not sure but it could be helpful to you in your research.
