I have a knife, an inscription on a steel blade sais that it's Danish. On the silver handle there is a mark in the form of a square, inside there is a rhombus and in it there is old scales with 2 cups, to the right and to the left of scales there are 2 letters "C", over scales there are 2 stars.
This mark is a small, so I have no good photo. There isn't other marks.
So let me know please what this mark meens and why there isn't other silver marks. Maybe this knife is silverplated (but I think it's silver)...

This is a picture with the inscription on the blade

Hello dognose, thank you for your help.

As I understand, these are silver plated knifes?
