Hello again,
these twelve fruitknives come allong with three different marks : four knives without any mark,4 knives with a 13, and four knives with a 14.
In my opinion its the silver finesse in Lot, but I´m not sure.I would think its german at around 1870. Anyone ,who could proof me or has a better idea?--Thanks for answers!
best regards Silvy[/img]

Hello, that is the Lötigkeit. Patterns like this were produced around 1860-1880. I have noticed, too, that of a set of twelve not all bear a mark for the fineness. No idea why. Too lazy to punch all of them ? Best wishes, Bahner
