Hello,
Can someone please help me figure out:
- if this is silver and what kind
- what period do the hallmarks refer to
- where it was done?
Thank you!

thank you for the info, may i ask also, what does the letter 'B' stands for
and where can i find mor information regarding the maker 'Fiedler'?

[Theoderich]

B is probably the "Ältermann-Buchstabe"

Eduard Fiedler FIEDLER, 1801-1865
