Hello Dolfeus
In your question you give us also the following information:
» This object is re-hallmarked (laser) in our country (Czech republic) and was approved as 925/1000 (or more) silver. «
By the usual electro plating processing is used on the Anode silver of 999-1,000 fineness — so the Czech assay officers were correct, when they found that the surface of your creamer is at least of 925-1,000 fineness, or higher of course. But in the Czech Republic exist also the fineness number 1 = 959-1,000 fineness = 40-1,000 fineness less then the real surface is containing.
Here I like to show you a copy of a catalogue’s title of »Berndorf«, from
1926 (I haven’t here an earlier one):
Inner title of the catalogue »C« from 1926, of
»Konzernwerke der Berndorfer Metallwarenfabrik Arthur Krupp A.-G.«
There is mentioned the two company’s of
W. Bachmann, and
J. L. Herrmann A.-G. as a kind of virtual merger. Both under the former
J. L. Herrmann prancing lion.
As I know, during a long time after the End of World War One the management of »Berndorf« permitted these company, also »J. C. Klinkosch« as well, to have the same range of products as before her integration in the »Berndorf Group«.
For historians remain a lot of researches - and now for the Czech Assay-Offices administration too.
Kind regards silverport
