Hello, the Dutch Gero factory opened a branch in Copenhagen in 1922 and Georg Nilsson (formerly with Georg Jensen) started working as a designer for Gero. After the crash of 1929 the Danish branch eventually was closed in 1933, all facilities moved to Zeist, Nilsson moving with the company to continue working as a designer. The plated pieces with the Danish Gero mark are authentic “Dansk Arbejde” and can be dated 1922-1933. Best wishes, Bahner
