Mark on knife rest - any ideas welcome
Posted: Thu Aug 13, 2020 4:09 pm
So, I have these knife rests, e.g.:
On one end of the base there is "12" stamped:
Scouring the internet led me to believe that this most likely means these knife rests are 750/1000 silver from Germany.
However, the hallmark is almost illegible:
I am not even sure I look at it from the right angle.
To me it looks like an "O" or "0" at the left and a "R" or "P" on the right side, with two blobs inbetween.
The upper one of the blobs might be a shield or head and the lower one a crown. Maybe. I might be on the completely wrong track here. The photos are not perfect, but the marks are not much better in original.
I looked at a lot of hallmarks today, but could not find a match. Any ideas?
