Coat of Arms from Augsburg c. 1730
Posted: 28 Oct 2013, 16:18
Your site was recommended to me, by another person interested in Heraldry.
I am an antique dealer, who specializes in silver, living in the USA. I am
trying to retire, and needless to say I also collect. Over the years I have
owned numerous pieces with engraved coat of arms. I used to know a person
who was very good at heraldry, who would help me out. But probably twenty
years ago he retired to the wilds of Australia. I occasionally keep pieces, especially from certain areas, because I wanted to identify the coat of arms.
Recently I posted about 7 of these on a German site: Heraldik. The experts
there identified 2 1/2 of them. I identified 2 1/2 myself, with what I learned there.
This one is German, or at least is on a piece of Augsburg silver c. 1730. . I looked at your site and found very few such postings, so I am not sure this is something that is of interest to your members. If this is not of interest or identifiable, I was wondering if someone could give me a description of the arms in German, as I am not sure I am using the right terms in searching.
Thank you,
Maurice Meslans
Ps I should have mentioned I also posted a coat of arms on the French section of this site, it may actually be German as it is on a piece of Strasbourg silver, so I invite anyone to look at it.
