Hello, the company changed its name in 1928, so this can be dated before that. Any dating between 1888 and 1928 is possible. Regards, Bahner

Hello, this is a run-of-the-mill monogram which does not give away anything. Beware of fake provenance reports concerning alleged nazi stuff. If there were bunkers a Carinhall to be looted they were looted by German locals after the destruction of Carinhall by German soldiers and later by Russian tr...

Hello, we will need a good photo of the mark, showing it in full and in focus. Regards, Bahner

Hello, the pattern can be found with other marks from Poland, Hungary or Austria, so I suspect MP is actually just another retailer. Regards, Bahner

Hello, Martin Mayer from Mainz, Germany. 1884 or later, not earlier. Merry christmas all around ! Bahner

Hello and welcome ! Your images are much too small, please post larger ones so we can have a closer look. Regards, Bahner

Hello, believe that Germany certainly is a possibility. Shape of the spoon, placing of the mark - this could fit. Does Apolda not have a city mark like that ? Let us wait for Theo to see this. Regards, Bahner

Hello, what does the seller say ? Is that the only mark image he is showing ? Regards Bahner

Hello, why exclude more recent masters ? Reinhold Vasters (also a brilliant forger), Richard Garten, Alexander Schönauer, Adolf v. Mayrhofer, Josef Wilm, Robert Fischer, Werner Bünck, Ulla Mayer - to name just a few... Regards, Bahner

Hello, without any engraving that links this to Jewish ritual it is mere wishful thinking. If this is German then Sterling is out of the question, as this was almost unheard of in Germany at this time. I am not sure there are no marks. What about these scratch-like markings left and right of the eng...

Hello, designed in 1962 by well-known German designer Rido Busse

Hello, believe this reads W. Geiseler / Stettin and L. Wolff. The 1866 directory of Pommern (the Pomerania region of Germany) lists a L. Wolff as gold- and silversmith in Stettin. Regards, Bahner

Hello, the maker's mark is upside down: J. Kurz and Co. from Hanau, Germany. Regards, Bahner

Hello, would agree that this indicates 830/1000 fine. As to Heimbuerger- he might just be the retailer of this piece and GR the actual maker. No clue, though a German maker might be possible (just a gut feeling). Regards, Bahner

Hello, the pic of the mark is not really helpful. And why is it exactly that a better image is not possible ? After all this seems to be presented by a gallery. Even for us it is hard to work miracles... My guess: Moritz Hacker. Regards, Bahner

Hello, knew it was here somewhere:

Hello, a pic of the whole object and a sharp pic of the mark may help enormously. Regards, Bahner

Hello, opening a new thread is always better to avoid confusion. I do not see any WMF mark here, so I do not know on what fact this statemet is based on. Are there any other marks ? Regards, Bahner

Hello, it has been discussed on this forum. Not Robbe, but a quite modern Hanau maker. Forgot which one, but J. Gehrlein can provide the answer. Regards, Bahner
