<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 17826, member: 111&quot;]Middle Eastern silver isn&#039;t really my bailiwick, but would guess late Qajar era Persian/Iranian (late 19th-early 20th century), which fits in with the marks, Berndorfer Metallwaren-Fabrik wouldn&#039;t have been likely to use the &#039;Supplier to the Court&#039; eagle mark after WWI.&nbsp; The origin might be revealed by that insignia/symbol/word in the one panel...</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve had Egyptian souvenir spoons that were made in Germany, and Austria was certainly a presence in that area, but from the somewhat crude look of it, suspect that is hand-chasing that was added locally, rather than a factory produced design.&nbsp; Berndorf produced wares in all sorts of metals, but would also guess alpacca or similar alloy, probably originally silverplated.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
