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.




Thanks in advance. I'm looking forward to learning more from all of you on this forum!

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.

Regards

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.
