I will add. His (Henniger) name was Gustav. Warsaw. Poland. 19 centuries.)))

Thanks! I am not sure if it is the same Henniger. I had few Warsaw silverplate items by Henniger, but none of them had those marks. All marks looked like this:

Additionally symbol "&" does not exist in Polish language therefore I am not sure any silvermith would use that in their hallmark.

Hi, Jackk.
Yes I understand you. Your Henniger (with an Eagle) from Leipzig. But there was still Gustav Henniger (too the German) in Warsaw, silverplate workshop. About it write the Polish sources.
Look at examples. Characteristic marks: the crossed hammers and "H and Co". Excuse for bad pictures - others aren't present.

Best Reg..

This is great! Thanks! I need to open my silverplate reference books more often.
