Hey there!
Many thanks for your great work! Thanks to your site I was finally able to identify my family silver.
However, one important thing - a large silver tray by Austrian master 19 st. monogrammed K-K I could not identify.
Would you be so kind as to help me if you know anything about this silversmith. Judging by the mark and hallmark, tray made in Austria in the middle of the 19 century:

One of my Italian friend suggests that the master tray - Karl Krepinsky:

But Krepinsky’s letters written (if we use computer terminology) in the style ARIAL, and on my tray - style TIMES NEW ROMAN (letters with the serif):

Karl Krepinsky worked in Vienna from 1905 to '24. And on my tray near the head of Diana not seen the letter. Hence, the tray is made between 1867 and 1872:

Who thinks about this?
Kind regards,
