Dear All,

I have searched the forum and found some answers, but would still very much like your help identifying hallmarks on a mid 19th century (I think) silver Norwegian paper knife in the form of a sword. The hallmarks are to the blade and the whole sword measures 11.5cm.

Based on what I have learned on the forum, I believe that it was made in Bergen (the 7 balls) and dates to August (8 over M) 1858 (58).

Can anyone help me with the other marks, particularly the maker 'ACM'? Any other observations or comments would be welcome. Thank you very much:

Your "sword" is made in Bergen in Norway in 1858 (?) by master Andreas Christian Møgelvang born 1818 and died 1891. He marked 1844-1873. It is of course in silver. It looks like 13,3 lot i.e. ~830/1000. The assayer's mark is too unclear to me. Somebody else could fill in the rest...

I didn't expect such a quick response - thank you very much indeed, it is good to finally know who the maker was and to confirm the other marks. I am grateful to you.
