Re: Help identify cherub spoon

Re: PJP - Unknown Hallmark, need ID?

no match in Denmark provinsial - ie no match of this mark. There are 2 in Sønderjylland with initials PIP one in Tønder and one in Åbenrå The Tønder smith mark is the one looking most like yours. But absolutely a different mark. In case your hovedvandsæg is contribuet to Tønder, one would say that y...

Re: russian hallmark is it real or fake?

its not mine - i saw it at a danish site, the owner asked what the early 17hundreds coin was. Everybody (else) agreed that the coin would be a cast one. I did not partisipate as I assumed it to be a complete fake. So I took the hallmark and posted. I cannot link to the facebook page as it a closed g...

Re: Please help to identify the maker of a Danish baroque spoon.

I dont think that it is a wedding spoon. But a gift presented at the 10 year aniversery of the couple. I.e. married in 1808 given in1818 The spoon is definetely older. Could very well be that the parents of the son or daughter gave a present at their 10 year. The spoon itselves I would date to 25 to...

Standard silver varies by country. some countries have 950 promille as standard. And during centuries different standards applied. In Denmark since 1608 the standard was 830...

Re: Why ladles are so often broken ?
