<p>[QUOTE="Frank, post: 4425596, member: 5421"]So, obviously they don't pre-date the sterling stamp. If I'm reading this correctly, a sword stamp was used 1814 - 1905 indicates .833 fineness, while the key overstamp (in use from 1853 - 1953) indicates it was intended for export. This also narrows the time frame to 1853 - 1905. The sword and key are present (very very small) on the smaller spoon, but it also sports these marks that I'm not having any luck with.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]378314[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
