I know this is pretty fuzzy, but can anyone decipher these hallmarks on my old Zenith ww? Thanks, Steve G. |

Hi Steve
I think I've got the three in the center:
Left one: 925 = sterling silver right: import mark for London bottom: date letter 1931 if this is a 'q'
Please try better picture; write us the numbers below the DEPOSE on top, this should be a patent number.

My watchmaker, Philip, has the watch right now making a stem for it. I will look at it again as soon as I get it back. Thanks a lot, Gerald! |

Maybe some astute historian can figure out a date chart by comparing the serial numbers with the hallmarks on some of these swiss pieces. |

What does the little fern design in the lower right signify? |

The second watch can also be dated by the three marks in the center of the case back:
.925 :sterling silver cross,diagonal :import mark of Edinburg third mark : date letter 1929 if 'x'

Yes, I think it is an X, and that would be consistent with the style of watch-wire posts, etc, from that time teriod. Thanks very much! |
