Finally had a chance to take some more detailed pictures.  I have ones from every angle in high resolution, I'll post what I can on here.  The metal looks to be silver.  There is a close up of the marking on the bottom of the decanter.

Yes I will get some more closeups and detailed pictures of the complete set.  We were still going through boxes and I was only able to take some quick pictures at the time.  It has been packed away in an attic since my great grandfather passed away.  He recieved it from a wealthy collector who was moving.  My great grandfather did a lot of work for the family and chose the set as a gift from them.  The story goes that it once belonged to Napoleon.  I can't verify that but it may give some insight into the timeline of it.  The set has been a family story for some time, this was the first time I've ever seen it.  I will get more pictures posted, again thanks for any help!

Hello all,
I have come across this wine decanter and set of 4 matching goblets.  I know little about it and was looking for some help.  Check out the picture, I have more pictures as well as detailed ones as well.

Thanks
