Hi,

The 2nd sword mark used 1906-1953. Standard mark for; small work silver minimum 833 fineness= 83.3% pure silver and used on small work without date letter and office mark and in combination with maker's mark. The numeral 835 is added by the manufacturer for export reasons.
Maker’s mark;*H.H*, Fa.(Firm) H. Hooijkaas 1874-2008; Zilverfabriek Schoonhoven . This particular maker's mark used 1946-2008
For more information about Hooijkaas see:

Hi,

Thank you so much for your time doing this. I spent few hours yesterday finding all marks I could and it was amazingly funny :D

So according to the facts, this spoon was made beetwen 1946 and 1953? But we cant say the exactly year, right?

Hi,

Yes, correct but probably made 1947-1948. In 1948 a lot of tourist & foreigners visited the Netherlands to watch the inauguration of our monarch Princes Juliana to become Queen of the Netherlands in September 1948.
