Hallmark for Christofle Sterling Silver?

[rapopken]

Hi,

I was given six Christofle serving pieces as a gift. They each bear the name Christofle and as a hallmark they also have a picture of a scale with three stars and also a knight with the letters OC or IOC. They do not appear to have the head of the Minerva. I believe they were all made in the early 1980's. Without the head of the Minerva are they all silverplate? They all appear quite heavy. I have seen the Christofle history/hallmark page and these hallmarks appear to match those that are post 1935. Is there any way to tell if they are silver or silverplate?

Many Thanks!

Pam

Sorry,

Here are the required images. I am unable to get a good close up of the hallmarks, but they do match the ones as described on the Christofle page.

Thanks Again!

To be able to answer your question we do need images of the Christofle marks!
