The hall marks and makers' marks impressed on gold and silver ware have recently received a large amount of attention from antiquaries, and many books have been published on the subject in this country during the last few years. These books, how ever, deal almost exclusively with English or French marks, leaving out of consideration the many interesting marks used abroad. It has therefore been thought that a hand book dealing with Continental marks would be both interesting and useful to those who possess old foreign silver, or who take pleasure in comparing the English with the foreign methods of controlling the working of the precious metals.
