Here is a mystery - anyone know this maker? Number 250 of Milan.

Hallo Mike,

Did you know this site? Maybe it brings you in the direction of your hallmark.

Hi Benten
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately yes I went through the entire site looking for it first then decided to post here as there was no 250 maker listed. Thanks though I appreciate it. I am hoping this one does not remain a mystery as it looks like quality workmanship

We have a couple Italian members,,,maybe they will eventually drop by and could add something..

Being a high number, and the 800 not in a oval ,maybe some kind of interim stamp [?] I've seen a few high numbers [higher than 200] but the actual rings were not DAK proper,,meaning no Swastika and Palm Tree, or no wartime date,etc..

Most of the Silver Jewelry forums are gone. 925 has their hallmark site,,,but they also have a forum. Its free to join. You might try putting on your photo and info.. But they're a bit slow there usually so give them some time to answer. You got nothing to lose at this point...

I've tried to ask on italian forum with no luck.
