The outline of this one looks like it is the post-1953 sword. If so, you should find either a tiny 835 or 925 mark along the length of the blade. Contrary to popular belief you will never find an 800 mark.</p><p>The maker&#039;s mark look like YK, I&#039;ll see if I can find it, I&#039;ll look for anything with a Y. For some reason the database I use doesn&#039;t see any reason to put marks in alphabetical order, or include a search option.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Although many of our over 10% Dutch-Indonesian population have Arabic roots as well (Spice Route), Arabic is not used to mark Dutch silver.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /> It might be an idea though.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/cool.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
