Can anyone help with this

[to1m1]

Hi, I have silver cutlery set with marks that I cannot identify. Pictures are not the best but every item is marked with R.K and number 60 or 90. some items also have additional letter next to it, D,K,W.... Any help will be apreciated. Thank you

Hello, R K was used by Richard Koeberlin from Doebeln, Germany on plated cutlery. Don't know about the other letters. Best wishes, Bahner

Hi Bahner,

Was this the same business? Or was Richard's company a separate concern?

Thanks a lot Bahner, I have seen some of his work but was not sure.

Hello, same family but two different companies. Richard had formed his own company in 1899, Gebr. Koeberlin originally had been founded by a certain C.W. Leiritz in 1828 and taken over by the Koeberlin Brothers some time after that. Best wishes, Bahner
