Why would the Pope have a gun?

In 1739 Pope Pius VII certainly had one as it was sold recently at auction.!.

This exceptional Spanish flintlock sporting gun is dated 1739, but both the gun and case bear the arms of Pope Pius VII, whose papacy was dominated by the Vatican’s troubled relationship with France during the Napoleonic period nearly a century later.

Faced with this dating conundrum, the auctioneers concluded that this was indeed a royal commission, made in Madrid for Charles III of Spain in the early 18th century, but subsequently presented to Pius by his son Charles IV, who lived in Rome following his abdication in 1808.

It was sold for €50,500 (£45,910) bySan Giorgioin Genoa on March 25.

Silver Makers Marks App Update

I am ploughing through each listing in the slow process of adding a new function to the App for silver collectors who follow a favourite maker. I have updated pages in the alphabet for the letters A to I so far. This new link takes you from the app to my Silver Makers Marks website. Here under the image of the maker and its details you will find the current items listed on eBay.co.uk for this maker. This means you can browse the current items to check prices and keep an eye out for specific items you require. This is a time consuming process for me and will be done over the coming weeks in between new mark listings and the day job here at Silver2treasure.

You can view one such page here. Asprey & Co Silversmith

What Is My Silver Worth?

Is a question I frequently get asked. On the face of it, it seems a simple question. However it is anything but simple. There are many factors to consider when valuing your own silver. The main issues are; age, condition, maker, weight, wow factor, availability and what will someone actually pay for it. I have completed a simple guide which is published already here on the Blog and has also been created into a PDF if you wish to download it to keep. If I have done things correctly you just need to click the link below to access the PDF and then click the save button at the top left corner of the PDF when it opens. (any problems leave a comment below)

Another great way to get a valuation online is at Value My Stuff . Com The below video show its founding member Patrick van der Vorst, explaining how the system works. They have access to a pool of 25 experts from auction houses such as Sothebys and Christies who will give an appraisal and extra information for you. There is however a cost to use this service. They claim a turn around time of 48 hours for a cost of £5.99. This may not be too dear for such an expert valuation so please take a look.Continue reading
