I have some old family silverware I acquired from my Great-Aunt's estate in Basel, Switzerland. It has 800, and the Jezler makers mark, but it also says "Breisch-David" and I can't find anything! Anyone ever heard of this?

Thanks!

Jo

Thanks Trev!




I'd love to know what this is too - it's on a whole set of spoons - I found out what the 'RAMU' stood for, but can't find that little 3 over RD.

(admin edit - only one item per topic - please start a new topic with your other item - see Posting Requirements )

Anyway, thanks again!

This specific Jezler mark was in use around 1900, not later than 1915-20. Breisch-David is the retailer. If you Google his Name and Silber you find various French and Swiss pieces with this retailer mark from around 1900. So you can date your spoons to the beginning of the 20th century.

I am looking forward to your other post with RAMU from Geneva.

Thanks, Jorge! I have a few in the same bunch with interesting marks - I'll post them. :)
