I have had some success identifying marks on a series of Scandinavian silver items, mostly from Norway, and the majority from silversmiths in Trondheim. However, this one eludes me. Any suggestions?



I did wonder if it was "A Loh ..." being the start of a mark for Alf Lohne, of Bergen, but can find no record of him independent of his brother Johan.

Albert Scharning of Oslo?

Thanks Trev. Yes, it could be. I'd read it as A Loh, but it could easily be A Sch on second examination.

Although most of Scharning's output seems to have been enamelled jewellery, similar to David Andersen, I did find a silver-plated set of sugar pincers, to a very sinilar design, clearly marked for Scharning:

We have note of a script mark used by Albert Scharning here:

Thanks again Trev. I was looking for a picture, but have now spotted the textual reference.
