It's really Swiss made. Wood grouse is the official Swiss mark for 800 silver until 1995. http://i48.tinypic.com/1433j3o.jpg To correctly identify the manufacturer, you have to look at the stamps clock mechanism. I think that following sites will help you: http://www.mikrolisk.de/show.php/280 http:/...

Hi all! I have a nice Dutch serving shovel made ​​in Utrecht in 1921. http://i47.tinypic.com/sgsjo2.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/34h772o.jpg Unfortunately, the maker's mark is difficult to see and I can't recognize it. Maybe someone knows this mark? Be grateful for any help.

Hi joris ! Thank you very much for your reply! I didn't know that "A2" is Moravská Třebová mark. http://i50.tinypic.com/23mobxj.jpg Then it's really Franz Bibus! But I looked the topics http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=10769&p=67080&hilit=franz+bibus#p67080 ...

No handles. I will think it's for cold drinks :-).

Hi Trev!
Thank you for your reply! I hope you're right. And what do you think this is glassholder or something else?
Best regsrds. Alex.

Thank you for reply, Dad! Please excuse me the quality of photos. Now you can see the large photos of hallmarks. http://i48.tinypic.com/2ikpj0y.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/33yni3r.jpg After receiving your information, I found in the Internet the same beaker. It is interesting and surprise to me :-)! ...

Maybe somebody knows anything about the origin and age of this fork? Unfortunately, I have no idea, except that it is from Germany. http://i50.tinypic.com/34ih7k4.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2ag269c.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/rlevj8.jpg Be grateful for any information.

Maybe it's a Belgian product? In Belgium, in the years 1869-1942 often was used mark "800" without legal assay marks.

Hi Amena!
Thank you very much for information. Indeed, the same mark! I am fully satisfied.

Hello!
It seems that one of your marks is very similar to Italian pseudohallmarks. See here:

Hello!
Your photos are not very clear, but it seems that your lions are very similar to the mark of Gebrüder Neumann from Hanau. See here:

Best regards.

Dognose , many thanks for the very interesting information! But the question remains: to which years the St. Mark lion was used? Unfortunately, the St. Mark lion stamps on my bowl is not too clear. These photos - the best that I can do :-(. http://i49.tinypic.com/s12b2e.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/d...
