[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 220038, member: 2844"]Dutch silver is classed as 1st, 2nd or 3rd grade, that means sterling, 835 or 800. 800 grade silver was only accepted as a legal Dutch silver grade to support the Indonesian silversmiths of Yogya, etc. Even then Dutch silversmiths prefered their traditional sterling and 835 grades, they couldn't sell 800 grade in The Netherlands. There are old silver items from Germany just marked 800, we see a lot of them here in The Netherlands through German relatives etc. The name could be Lotte, a German name.[/QUOTE]
