German .800 Swan Salt?

Postby Guntherhess » Wed Nov 26, 2008 1:04 pm

Hello,
This is a great web site. I use it all the time but have never posted in the forum. Thanks for hosting it.

This item is a silver open salt. Its from my mother's old salt collection.
I think it is German but I cant seem to identify the marks.

It has what looks like a reclining lion, a 'B', another symbol, then 800.
At the top it looks like it may be marked Germany but the mark is mostly one.

Thanks for any help.
