Hello,
i need help to identify my french silver ? bowl. is the bowl silver or silver plated ? somebody knows the maker ? i thin the maker mark is " DF " or " DE " and the other mark is " SG " or " 56 "
thank you very much

Not consistent with French silver marks;most probably silver plated.The number may indicate the thickness of silver plating - sometimes different thickness in a single cutlery set for obvious reason:some items are subject to considerable wear.Interesting issue;was it so expensive to have uniform silver plating or the duty was too high? It is not too difficult to test it for silver;file a bit somewhere where not seen and test it.Do not make a notch with the file.Then you can use jeweler`s sandpaper.
