This maker is norwegian. I have seen it several times on silver/enamel. But I do not know the maker.

I have always thought 925S and backward K about this hallmark
Has now found that the hallmark should be 925 and S + backward K and this stands for Svein Kirkhus.

Can not figure out if the 10-digit ads I've found online may have used the wrong silversmith in this hallmark, so we must continue to look for the silversmith here

A Norwegian jeweler and author and books about silver have now found out this with the backward K :)
Edvin Kristiansen established himself in Oslo in 1931. Later, it became Kristiansen & Knutsen's goldsmith workshop and can follow this until 1941. Knutsen dies, and at the same address, the workshop Kristiansen & Lande will be established until 1972. Relatives to countries have confirmed that Kristiansen & Lande used the reverse K as silver stamp and that Edvin Kristiansen probably has used it since he started in 1931
