Possible German Hallmarks?

Post by bmwbikerusa »

I recently came across this set of silver and have been trying to find out more about it. Looking at various hallmarks, it appears that it might be German, but as I am not an expert, I was hoping some of you who have been researching these things for a longer time might be able to help me.

Hi,
Bruckmann and Sons,Heilbronn, Germany is the maker (eagle mark on the right),see here:

Crescent and crown is German state mark (Reichsmark).
See here:

800 is obviously fineness, i.e. 80% silver in the alloy.

Thank you for that information - very helpful! Any thoughts as to how I might determine the approximate age of the pieces?

I think it is 1892 or 1898.
