935 Silver - is it original?

[himbeer]

Hello forum,

i have found an old lorgnette with an 935 silver-mark. I have never heard about 935 silver - is it original? where was 935silver used, it seems to be older than 70-80 years.

thanks,
himbeer

I most often see .935 on small silver and jewelry that is German ca.1920 -1940.

Hi Himbeer,
I believe the 935 standard was used sometimes in Germany and Switzerland,

Are there any other marks?

[himbeer]

Hello, there are no other marks. Here you can see some Photographs of the lorgnette. It´s with it original case.







Does anybody know the exactly age or some other details?

Thank for all your help!

The handle looks a bit art deco, so perhaps 1930s.

Hello granmaa :-)

thats right it should be art deco / art nouveau (about 70-80 years old). Hmmmm but i´m not sure wich country - german or french - or maybe an other land? where was 935 silver more often used in this time? and was it used in this countries?

THANKS FOR ALL HELP

I most often find 935 silver used on Swiss watch cases, but I have no knowledge in Swiss styles so I can't confirm your lorgnette was made there.

You should not forget that Switzerland borders both France and Germany :)

Hello, in view of the absence of other marks I feel this is most likely German, around 1930-40. Best wishes, Bahner
