German silversmith?

Post by needy »

Is anyone familiar with this silversmith mark seems similar to Mannheim Jean Schmitt Heidelbergs mark in resource e-book section. But this wine taster looks more like 1900s.

Hi needy

the mark Looks like the coat of arms from Berne, Switzerland

What is the mark on the right? If it is Berne then there is virtually always an additional makers mark.

Kind regards

The hallmark to right is 800 in a square lozenge. I do not see any other marks. There is a silver hallmark of Bern, Switzerland XVI Shield with passant bear. Maybe someone more recent has fashioned their hallmark similarly.
