Hi Cristina,

To me it looks like it is made by Christoph Widmann in Pforzheim.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jakjo,

I've checked it too but I'm not sure because here is not the crown, and this one is 800 sterling silver.

Thank you very much for your kind help.

Regards!

Cristina

Hi again Cristina!

I feel quite confident about the mark and the maker Christoph Widmann after looking for examples without the crown and the crescent. There are quite a lot them if you search the internet.

The standard 800/1000 is the lowest and most common, used in Germany since 1886.

Your silver cake slice seems fairly typical of the Widmann silverware production range.

Best regards/JAKJO

Hello.

Agree that is the mark of Christoph Widmann in Pforzheim.

To a similar question on a German piece without the half-moon & crown, Bahner replied

Hello, strictly speaking - yes, there should also be half-moon and crown. But you can regularly find German pieces with just a makers mark and the mark for the silver quality. As there is no central assay office for Germany, nobody actually controls, what kind of marks a company or a silversmith uses. Best wishes, Bahner
