Re: Bachruch Silver Pitcher Tankard
The Bachruch hallmark is likely that of Austrian silversmith Carl Bachruch (1867 - 1905).
The head of Diana in the punch with 5 lobes is the Austro-Hungarian mark used on silver of .800 purity from 1867 - 1922.
The triangle hallmark is likely a secondary mark that belongs to Bachruch. Austrian silversmiths often hallmarked their silver with their names or initials along with a copyrighted symbol of some sort.
I hope this helps.

Yes, Thank you so much!
Do you have any idea of the value? And if I do decide to sell, where is a good place to go with this sort of item?
Thanks again! I really do appreciate your input!!!

It's minimum value would be as scrap bullion, which at 12.5 oz. would be about $350.00, as an antique I'd peg it in the $600.00- $800.00 range
