In my opinion are the shown spoons authentic - they should be cleaned and polished! This pattern is sometimes found - mostly single pieces in good condition with all the marks perfectly struck. I have my doubts about the "Bulgarian source" - what comes from there looks different.... Here a...

Spoons of Gustav Okerblom are not very rare! https://abload.de/img/okerblomgustav01lkkvk.jpg https://abload.de/img/okerblomgustav01autj7d.jpg https://abload.de/img/okerblomgustav01b9tkip.jpg https://abload.de/img/okerblomgustav02f9juh.jpg https://abload.de/img/okerblomgustav02a7fk3s.jpg https://ablo...

As to what is stated in Postnikova. It is the best book available for the moment but unfortunately it contains some "inefficiencies and frankly said errors too. I have registered close to 200 "inefficiencies etc.". Juke mentions #10 (76). It could be a mistake or a gold fineness. The...

Hi -- as far as I know Captain's spoons were always a single present. Here I found a spoon and a fork from the same maker and donator. Insider know all the details so I do not have to repeat them.
