Thanks a lot for your kind reply!

It is a cigarette box in silver. It is clear that it is a Birmingham item. But the hallmarks beside 925 are very peculiar. So I have no idea of their meaning,. Thanks for any help

The knife is like this. Can not find marks on the blade itself. Perhaps not in silver?

There is a dot between those 2 letters.

By the way, what is the style of this spoon and what it is mainly used for? The length is about 20cm. Thanks a lot.

Thanks, AG. You make me more informed.

Bought this spoon today. Only show the hallmarks here.

The maker is John Lambe, 1789, in London.
The hallmarks are identical to those found in 1809. But from the maker we can deduce that it is produced in 1789.

Very interesting hallmarks on a pair of silver buttons. They have an import mark.
Other information: Chester 1902. The maker is Berthold Muller, a silversmith and importer of German silverware.
