About the stamp makers mark:
The hallmark identifies the quality or the purity of the silver- i.e. .925, .999, .980, sterling or sterling silver. The hallmark may also include the date and location of the assay, the maker's mark and any import tax or duty. The maker's mark is used to identify the silversmith- generally their name or initials.
In 1980 Mexico silversmiths initiated a letter and number system to register silversmiths. The first letter indicates the city and the second letter is the first letter of the silversmith's last name. The most common cities are Taxco and Mexico City.
Examples:
TF-83 might be a piece made in Taxco by Fernandez who would be the 83rd smith to be registered as TF in Taxco.
MP-36 would indicate the piece was made in Mexico City by perhaps a smith named Perez who was the 36th smith registered as MP in Mexico City
