Unknown Maker SL

[Kirils]

Hello. I have this silver 24 pieces fish flatware set. Unfortunately the maker is unknown to me. Is anyone familiar with with mark? Thank you in advance.

Louis-Charles-Simon Leterne (also Leterme), a jeweller working in Paris at 78, rue Montmartre was the maker. His symbol was a highway marker (une borne). Leterne registered his mark on 19 July 1871. No end date is given.

See Arminjon, v. II, no. 03694, p. 333.

Just came across this post. The maker here is actually Souche-Lapparra, whose mark was SL with a tree stump ("souche" in French). It was registered in April 1960 when the famous house founded by Antoine Lapparra was purchased by the Souche brothers and became Souche-Lapparra. They are still around, the mark still being used, and this pattern - called "Blois" - still available: Orfevre Lapparra: Blois
