The silver fineness 960 is not suitable for manufacturing objects. It is too soft and you know that very well! In addition, it is not an standard jewelry fineness anywhere..Nothing more to discuss! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/800x600q90/924/9SYHmt.jpg In France they used to have a 1st standa...

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/800x600q90/923/mcGalE.jpg Looking at the image we see clear differences, one O is much thicker than the other and one crown is solid, while the other has a line through it. Left we see the duty mark of 1807, crowned O deformed/miss struck and at the right not crow...

Hi, believe it to be a (later) marriage between a spoon handle and a cowrie shell bowl. I never have seen this type of spoon with a cowrie shell bowl. Why do we see two (pseudo) duty marks of 1807? The maker's mark not clear perhaps deformed MH conjoined, noted as pseudo mark, seen on spoons ( Valse...

Thanks, I believe it not to Dutch.
