I need some help in identifying the date of this fish knife. As evident in the pictures, it is marked CHRISTOFLE and also has the Christofle scales mark. I know this mark was evident in a square form from 1862-1877, however the mark was then surrounded within the square in an oval shape. I also found on this forum, an example of the square mark from 1890 - registered in Vienna. Other silver items that I have, all have a number in the middle of the scales, indicating the degree of silver plate. This mark does not have this number.
I am very new to investigating silver marks, so I hope I have described my question well enough.
Would appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks.
