Hi,

    I tried everything else, so I thought I would ask the community
    here. I bought the most beautiful silver colored handmade bowl. It is
    not marked Sterling, but it sure looks like it is. It has a maker's
    mark which is a hammer with the letters D above it and F below. Has
    anyone come across this mark before? I have pictures on the server,
    hope it is ok to add the link (if not, sorry, my apologies)
