Hi Cristina,

I'm not sure, but wonder if that may be one of the marks of WMF (Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik) of Germany.
They used the OX mark, meaning Oxidized.
I'm sure someone will confirm/deny soon.

Other WMF marks include http://www.925-1000.com/silverplate_W.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thank you very much, for your reply.

But you say that the initials W.W.P.F. could be WMF?

Hi Cristina,

I was just offering a possibility, a quick Google search revealed other silverplated pieces with the WWPF mark made in a similar fashion and style to WMF items, this coupled with the OX mark that WMF were known to use, made me wonder if this might be a subsidiary of WMF or maybe even a competitor.
Hopefully someone will come up with something more concrete.

Regards Trev.
