Hi, Having seen the new pictures I am convinced that I have to move your question to the Dutch section. The reason is that there is a 10 penningen-mark used between 1807-1812 for 833/1000 pure silver and a bird mark (Ooievaar) a stork that was used in The Hague/Den Haag in The Netherlands. Best rega...
Hi, The spoon is made between 1798 and 1809, and later re-assayed in The Netherlands. I find it a bit tricky to assure you that it is "French", because it was made when Napoleon ruled over The Netherlands, Belgium and parts of Italy and Germany and the napoleonic silver marking regime was ...
Hi and welcome to the forum, My guess is that your napkin rings are German and from Schwäbisch Gmünd. The town mark looks like the head of a unicorn and they are in my opinion from the mid 19th century. I am not able to decipher the left mark, which perhaps is the maker's. Hope this helps! Best re...
Hi and welcome to the forum Cheita25, There is a hatchet; the Dutch duty-free mark used on old silver 1853-1927 and the French guarantee mark (Fasces) for small objects used in the period you, Theoderich, stated. http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv301/JAKJO/poincons02_clip_image022.jpg I have no i...
Hi, I read the name Kerkowski or Karkowski and to me it sounds Polish. The two identical 12-loth marks seems to be a combination of fineness and perhaps the first letter (in uncial or gothic script) in the the name of the city. Is it a "G"? The sugar or sweetmeat basket is made in the firs...
Hi Nigel, Your brooch is from Denmark and made after 1908, when the "D hammer A"-mark was introduced. It is a mark of The National Association for Danish Enterprise; established in 1908 as a private and independant organisation to support and marketing Danish produced consumer goods in Den...
Hi Theoderich and Blakstone! Even If I cant see the letter "R", I believe it is the Rostock mark (Scheffler 625), but I think that the Kerfack mark is the one used by the father of #85 Friedrich Heinrich Hartwig Paul Kerfack (1832-1903; Master 1858); #74 Friedrich Heinrich Kerfack (1795-18...
Hi again, Sorry, when I saw the "Pröve-mark", I was absolutely certain that it was Norwegian. I have never seen this one on Danish silver before. Bøje mentions it on silver objects from Copenhagen used in the middle of the 19th century by the masters themselves. The maker is Ebbe Olaus L...
It is Norwegian. I checked Norske sølvstempler gullsmedhåndverk i byene på Østlandet før 1870 by Jorunn Fossberg, 1994, Universitetsforlaget, Oslo, but no match

I had a look at Meinert's "M". I'm not sure that it is a perfect match. Could it perhaps be Norwegian? I checked Norske sølvstempler gullsmedhåndverk i byene på Østlandet før 1870 by Jorunn Fossberg, 1994, Universitetsforlaget, Oslo, but no match.
Hi Pdx57, This is a wild guess and I have no good sources more than a picture of a pewter town mark from Meissen (about 1690). I know well that Rosenberg suggested another mark with crossed swords over the letter M, but I think he is a bit vague. http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv301/JAKJO/WAPPEN...
Hi, The mark in the middle is that of Karl Kurtz in Kesselstadt, Germany. http://www.925-1000.com/Fgerman_hanau_marks_01.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. The left two identical marks could be French charançon-marks. I do not recognise the right mark. Hope this helps. Best regard...
Dear Dinio, Interesting facts! Could it be possible that the spoons are made by a Stargard maker (without a known mark) and retailed by Engelmann, Peckruhn, Steffen ...? Stettin/Szczecin is not far from Stargard. And I have noted spoons like your one with this griffin and the "Tremolierstrich&q...
Hi all, Interesting, I had noted this griffin mark as Greiffenberg. I agree with you, Solpar, that the town marks are the same on the works of Kursch, E Steffen and E.K. or F.K. The Schulla town mark is different. I have to more examples; C. Engelmann and ?. Peckruhn. I hope this helps to confirm th...
