Hello »Rayvenini«

It isn't a German souvenir spoon - also not, that it is in this case marked with a fineness, similar to the German »minimum« fineness of 800-1,000; only from that fineness up on it’s in Germany allowed to be marked as to be made from Silver alloy.

The "shadow theatres" figures are a typical »Far East« theme, e.g. in Bali.

There fore I haven't detailed knowledge - but maybe well one of our members from »down under«? Let's wait now.

Yours question would be changed today by the Administrators with an automatic link to »Asian and Middle Eastern Silver« partition »Far East«.

Kind regards silverport
