i'm not so sure now that you mention it. The photo on this website shows a wreath with a sword for Watson and your photo has what looks like a candle in a wreath. Maybe someone with more experience can comment?

I meant that if you have one, you should post a photo of a piece of flatware that does not have a hollow handle. It would be easier to compare the pattern this way with photos on other websites.
