Why are Swedish import mark and the mark GAB together?

Postby Elena Russ » Tue Feb 01, 2011 7:49 pm

Hello, dear Sirs.

I am interested in one situation. I have an item with Swedish import mark "three crown" in oval shape. Why is there the mark GAB on this item too? Thank you.

this is not a unique situation. what is requered is either makers mark, year, place and kattfot+S or in case import 3 crowns in oval+S

To strike a "makers mark" should make buyer believ that it is made by.... and not import sold by a silversmith.
