On this button we see the town mark of Schoonhoven ...

Re: Dutch pseudo marks?

Hi idarf,

No, in my opinion they are not Dutch pseudo marks. I think perhaps Swiss. It looks good quality, the pseudo marks may have been used by Pochon Frères & Co, for their silverware that went abroad but I have no proof of that. Perhaps not a bad idea to have the scale tested for silver content ...
