[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 3607506, member: 111"]Heh, will be popping in and out - Gixen, the very reliable sniping service I use, has an issue with eBay, and I keep checking to see if they're back up before an item I have scheduled comes up (missed one, but it didn't sell and was relisted). Just for clarity, the 'Copenhagen' mark has been the Danish national quality mark since 1893, until 1936 it indicated a minimum fineness of .826, then changed to minimum .830. You're lucky to have the maker, quite a bit of Danish silver is missing the maker as on INH's spoons (that is Heise's official assay-master mark, only found on pieces from his 1904-32 tenure, and is not one of his maker's marks) - honestly, it's real mixed bag, even the simplest marks should be just the maker and the fineness, but even that isn't always present. INH - will see what I can find on your pattern, I have some old Danish flatware catalogs... ~Cheryl[/QUOTE]
