Ah yes your right, I ment more an EP in a heartshape. By now I found out that its actually ER in the heart, could the key be from Leuven, Belgium perhaps?

Like always your right. I just read that this mark must be by Hendrik NijMan, 1797-1815 accoarding to my source. It also explains the missing assay/year/silver level as silver/goldsmiths from Kampen only had to go to the assay office in Zwolle from 1812. Thanks again :)

Hey Oel, thanks for answering.
Well Im not sure, it could be, but they key kind of looks like a city mark maybe?
I havent seen an EP marking inside a figure, only as loose text myself.

Short question on Dutch silverware

I have seen it many times, but i still dont know the answer:
Dutch coinsilver (muntsilver) struck items, really from coins or fake?
If real its 640/1000?

Fake Dutch hallmarks? help wanted Here I have a serving plate, which look to me to be fake Dutch hallmarks, have anyone seen them before? Maker: Looks like Begeer, and upside down Begeer again Material: Lion passant, overstruck with V for Unknown foreign. (does this mean someone later tested it as s...

Strange set, only double maker, help wanted Somehow this spoon and fork only have a double strike of the maker mark: HNM or WNH? They came with other silverware from Holland, so most likely its origin. With the double maker mark there is only 1810 and KJ. Ive read that silver-plating was invented 18...

Unknown markings on knifes, help wanted I absolutely don't know nothing about these markings, all information is welcome. Somehow there are only 3 markings instead of the more common 4 markings?

Ok thanks for clearing things up

So.. if the 925 is not the gurantee, what is? The Maker mark?

I dont say you know little, but she told me that price and told me you have to fill out a form and then check the box that you dont want it marked "metal" in front or else they will do it. Still I think its to expensive if there are more costs involved. If you have to pay 50 euro for a cof...

Ok didnt know about the "or white metal" part havent seen it anywhere?
The mark is always combined with the silver hallmarks, strange

Oel, You know a lot but not everything... "Als ik het goed begrijp betaal ik dus 4,35 euro per item voor zilver dat ik overgekocht heb (via internet) om het te laten keuren met een gehaltekeur?" "Als het om gebruikte voorwerpen gaat, betaald u inderdaad €4,35 per voorwerp." E-m...

Checked Gouda, the costs for a used product is 4,35 euro a piece.
It's low, but I dont want to take the risk of getting "Metal" smeshed on it when it isnt silver though.
So I guess I just leave it like this.

Yes ok, but the mark then does say its at least silver, and not plated, right?

Ok this is weird, check this out:

(admin edit)

But the V = Vreemd (Unknown) I guess translated is most suitable.
But its "Vreemd" as in Unkown silver? Since its a silver mark?
Doesn't that say its at least made of silver?
