Hello forum,

i have found an old lorgnette with an 935 silver-mark. I have never heard about 935 silver - is it original? where was 935silver used, it seems to be older than 70-80 years.

thanks,
himbeer

I most often see .935 on small silver and jewelry that is German ca.1920 -1940.

Hi Himbeer,
I believe the 935 standard was used sometimes in Germany and Switzerland,
Regards Trev.

Are there any other marks?

Hello, there are no other marks. Here you can see some Photographs of the lorgnette. It´s with it original case.







Does anybody know the exactly age or some other details?

Thank for all your help!

The handle looks a bit art deco, so perhaps 1930s.

Hello granmaa :-)

thats right it should be art deco / art nouveau (about 70-80 years old). Hmmmm but i´m not sure wich country - german or french - or maybe an other land? where was 935 silver more often used in this time? and was it used in this countries?

THANKS FOR ALL HELP

I most often find 935 silver used on Swiss watch cases, but I have no knowledge in Swiss styles so I can't confirm your lorgnette was made there.

You should not forget that Switzerland borders both France and Germany :)

Hello, in view of the absence of other marks I feel this is most likely German, around 1930-40. Best wishes, Bahner
