The second letter indicates the first initial of the last name of the silversmith, in our example it is R. The number indicates that he is the 148th smith, with a name beginning with R, to register a mark in his city's assay office. This example, TR-148, tells us that the item on which it is stamped, was made by a smith with surname initial R sometime after 1979 in the city of “T” Taxco. Generally that is all that can be derived from these marks, Unfortunately, there is no list that matches the letters and numbers to silversmith's names and there are probably less than 15 of these identified.
