Thanks JayT for your quick and detailed answer. Dartis seems to have made mostly flatware. In the internet I found only an offer of a spoon and a fork and "un plat en argent"
Regards silverfan

Old French marks are a rather difficult matter. My short research in Tardy had only the result that the spoon is probably not from Paris !? Does anybody know more?

Dear Cheryl,
thank you very much for your informative post. Such detailed hints are hardly available in Europe.
Regards silverfan

I posted the spoon by G. Ligieri on September 25, 2014 and I had it tested. Look last post, it was 875/1000 silver.

Thanks silverly. With your hint I found out that it is not a real Jensen pattern.

The result of my last research: double struck maker's mark MA over S in a heart shape could be Norwegian, but I did not succeed in identfying the maker.
Regards silverfan

I couldn't find out the maker of this nice cake server, marked A&S 13 1/4. The fineness in lot makes me think it is Norwegian, in addition to that the family of the seller has Norwegian roots. Regards silverfan https://abload.de/img/r0018443kbjob.jpg https://abload.de/img/r00184445lj7j.jpg

Does anybody know the country of origin of this sugar tongs? I suppose it to be German, but there is no town mark, only in the 2 little bowls I recognize MA over S in a heart shape (no better photo possible). I found the sugar tongs in a collection of Austian and Norwegian pieces. There is an engrav...

Made by Georg Jensen New York. What is the pattern name and when was this pattern produced?
Regards silverfan

Thanks again Peter. I now spotted that the fork in the middle has a slightly different pattern and is marked only with the sword mark withhout purity figures. So most probably made by another silversmith.
Regards silverfan

Thanks Peter. Pickle fork sounds better than cake fork because the fork has no cutting edge. In the internet I found now still another purpose: poffertjes fork. Also possible?
Regards silverfan

What purpose have these small dutch forks marked van Kempen Q = 1926. length 13,5 cm, weight 13 g.
Regards silverfan

I suppose the marks to be from Lutz & Weiss, Pforzheim, because I know the 800 in this form only from that company.
Regards silverfan

That could be a question for Hose_dk!?
Regards silverfan

Thanks again AG2012 and Juke*. I am sure that the blade has been renewed.
Regards silverfan

Thanks AG2012 too. I learnt that the stars and fish mark is not a personal mark but a workshop mark.
Regards silverfan

Thanks Dad. So the L? behind the head means Warsaw and the stars with fish? is the personal mark of Hempel!?

It is well-known that K&B, Bremen exported much silver to Russia before WW I mostly via Riga (at the moment under Ebay-No. 284453099971 is offered a spoon made by K&B and marked by Fabergé). Here we have the pattern no. 24100 issued in 1897 marked with kokoshnik 1908-1917 and a sign behind t...

Thanks Tre.
Just another question: For what purpose is the second piece from underneath.
Regards silverfan

Besides name or number of the flatware - marked with the Moscow kokoshnik 1908-1917 - it is interesting for what purpose are the two round "knobs". See special photos. Regards silverfan https://abload.de/img/fabergschatullevnjt4.jpg https://abload.de/img/fabergdeckeln3ksv.jpg https://abloa...
