Because you are misinformed. David Andersen in person b. 1843 d. 1901 and the company David-Andersen are two different things. The company is founded 1876 and this mark was used to 1939.

Look at the second picture from top, on the left side..

This fork is Norrøna type, but with this mark..

There is a lot of misinformation in Internet not to talk about 925. Believe me or believe 925. The choice is yours.

Are you quite sure that the pattern is Norrøna?
I have never seen it in 20 gr. silverplated.
