Also have a other nice item that's to me silver . Smells en colours and polish like silver and weight is 192 grams . Been to a jeweller and the also think it's silver but it has not been tested yet . So would like to know maker and age or where to look maybe ?
Thanks

I tried to search it for you and I found your question and same photos on another site from a year ago where you were given some good advice. You had a year to have it tested; why didn't you?
-
With a bit off hundreds off collected (antique) items and a bit off a bad health things get forgotten . So that's why it's not tested yet . But I know i still have to do this once the make sure . And it's makes it more interesting if I do know if it's old or not and I still don't know :(

Gerspee, Im' not an authority on silver (far from it) but a place to start would be to research Norwegian silver and a maker named David-Andersen. The scales shown in your hallmarks appear to be his makers mark This company is shown as being in business since 1901. The link I got this from was http://www.925-1000.com which is an encyclopedia of silver hallmarks. Hope this helps.

Thanks and had quick look already . The small mark is like a number 4 (not to be seen on the photo because off the size ) . En de other one (KNO) must be a makers initials maybe ?
-
gerspee, the initials sure look like MNO to me and not KNO!

You're right with that one . Must be old age or so to make mistakes like that ::) . Have send the Davis-Andersen firm a mail with the pictures and the question if it's maybe from there firm . So no answer yet . will post the answer off course
