I also received a set of 6 spoons, knives and forks in their original box. The spoons are all silver and marked as shown. The forks and knives have a brass type metal for tongs and blades with marked silver handles. They are about 6" long. They came from my aunt's estate and may be Austro-Hungarian in origin. They have lots of marks...does anyone know? Thank you, Joye

This is Germany. The makers are Körner & Proll from Berlin. The factory was created in Berlin by Franz Eduard Körner and Friedrich William Proll in 1845. The firm is still active.
Best regards. Alex.

Thank you so much Alex!
I was just working to post the rest of the set. Do the marks tell how old it might be? Thank you. Joye
