If it is not Hamburg, could it be Altona, which also has three towers. Anyhow; it is definitely well before 1870, because it had been passed for sure from our ancestors to us at least over four generations. At least it must be a city in the north of Europe, else Lübeck. Does this hallmark always sta...
I have some silverware marked with F? 800 Moon and Crown. On the back it is written FHC Mordhorst. That is apparently the manufacturer. But where was this company residing? Does anybody know this?
