I have bought 4 German table spoons recently (1900-1910). One is marked as 800 silver, the others are not. 3 have the same markers mark (the 800 is one of them). all 4 spoons are engraved with flowers. Is there a reason why the 3 spoons have no sing of silver purity? They look like pure silver spoon...

@bahner

thank you very much for this detailed information. i guess my spoons are form the 19th century. many of them have a small letter on the mark. i bought them as 800 silver. but 12 lot is still OK for me.

hello,

i bought several old teaspoons marked with the hamburg city mark and different makers marks. but none has a mark that indicates the purity in loth. as far as i know the hamburg city mark guaranties silver. but does it also guaranty a minimum purity?
