howz that....

A friend has this set of smallish table cutlery. One has what appears to be an ivory replacement handle however it could be a knife of similar use/design from a different set. The blade shape is what has me stumped. Do any of you folks know what these were for? The blades are a little less than 3 in...

Just as a follow up...this is the thread that started this conversation. (invalid link) These (several) people, seem to think its "ok" to call these silverplate marks "faux" marks... as if they are there to fool/imitate silversmith's marks from the same era... I say they are legi...

Anyone know? By way of comparing the handle, you'd think this is probably a 6" blade... http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/rr44/campbellclanman/tatmonstamash048.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/rr44/campbellclanman/tatmonstamash052....

The pic... Also; is this an early mark? or a later one? When was this pattern introduced?
