Hi Trevorg
Thanks for your info.
In fact, the person to whom I had brought the object for the x ray test expressed a very similar opinion.
According to him it is a repair made with a low melting point alloy, possibly containing a little silver.

Always check from as many as possible other sources too. (I don't think that this i something new for you!) Of course this is not something new to me, but I believe it is impossible for me to become an expert on silver around the world. Luckily in this forum, there are experts from each specific ar...

Hi Qrt.S Thanks for your views and information. I'm actually quite a newbie to Danish silver and my only source was the 925-1000.com page https://i.postimg.cc/qRFYCF2M/peter-hertz.jpg On that page Peter Hertz's is described as P dot H dot, while in effect, on the sugar sifter the second dot is missi...

I found this Danish sugar sifter. https://i.postimg.cc/QH3f5qhS/sifter1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/KKwNYP0P/sifter2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Ny5DYJkG/sifter3.jpg Hallmarks are partial and rather worn, however it seems to recognize without doubt the mark of the assay master Simon Groth (1863-1904). I h...

Better you test it to make sure it's solid silver.

Rare earth magnet has no effect also on copper, brass, lead, bronze, aluminum, tin, titanium, zinc, bismuth, ..............

In fact combination of sterling silver (925) and Yellow gold 18 K: the thin plate with initials.

I think Gmgs silverplate would give us a great gift if he tested his cutlery and could tell us for sure if they are solid silver or not.
Knowing for certain what material the cutlery is made of would be of great help, to classify those marks, so naive.

Certainly not British hallmarks.
The king's head looks more like Pinocchio than George III.
But are you sure it's solid silver?
Amena

Can you see any analogies with this mark?

On the partial mark on the left can you read FI ?
If so, then it is Pampaloni of Florence.
Just a guess

It's just a gut feeling.
I have seen a multitude of silverplate marks that look like that, but never a solid silver mark that looks like it.
This is why I would be wary and would like to test it out before buying.
Good luck

Beware

Thanks Theo.
It seemed impossible to me that there was a German mark that you had never seen before.

Thanks Damon, I think you've hit the mark.
Your information was very helpful

Thanks Peter for your concern, here is what the marks on the tip of the spoon look like.

Thanks, Peter
Not a pipe, therefore, but a dateletter. (What a shame)
But is it a D or an A?

And if it were an A would it be that of 1775 or 1800 or 1830 or 1855?

Thanks a lot!
Best regards
