    This one has me stumped... The makers mark looks to be a ,"W", over the word, "SINTRA", which most likely refers to the city in Portugal, but I have not been able to find any further information. It is 95% solid silver and weighs a hefty210 grams. Any help that you can give me on this maker would be greatly appreciated.

      Hi,
      Unfortunately it`s made of TIN, not silver, clearly marked with tin chemical symbol Sn, the alloy composed of 95% tin, more than usual tin percentage in pewter.
      Cheers
