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?

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
