a Lübeck fakemark?

I have this mark on a "Aufsatzschale" ( ~bowl )
There is no makersmark an the mark looks like a Lübeck townmark.

But I have never seen a "10" Loth mark on a Lübeck piece.
Is this mark known as a fakemark?

I have now seen the same Hallmark with a "20" mark.

Double headed eagle mark + 10 or 20

Hello

As you know, some symbol are common, like eagle, lion's ...

10 Lot is some times - in periods of poverty, war etc. - used for flatware and hollowware; but 20 Lot never.

On plated hollowware a mark show how many gram silver (German: «Gewichtsversilberung») was used per piece to be plated - as maybe in yours case.

Kind regards silverport
