Thanks for getting back to me. My camera is in the shop, so all I can send you now is a scan of the chalices themselves, they look a little bent, but they are not. They just don't scan well. I will send you some photos as soon as I am able. I had purchased them over 25 years ago , and had them packed away until recently, when I discovered them while going thru some old things. I tried to do some research on them back then, searching thru Janes, but couldn't find much. Today I just entered HMS India into my browser, and came upon your web site. They are definitely hand engraved, but I have yet to find the makers mark, although there are a few impressions that might be them. I live in Palm Beach, Florida. I don't know if these scans will help, but I will stay in touch, and I thank you for your response.

Hello:
I have come into possession of two, looks like silver over copper (not sure), hand engraved chalices. Very intricate design. On the bottom it is engraved H M S India. I am not sure if they are genuine, but they certainly appear to be ! I hope you can help me authenticate them, or steer me in the right direction in order to do so. If I hear back from you, I would be happy to send pictures of them, or whatever else I need to do.
Thank You
