Christofle import
Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2025 2:23 am
Hello everyone
Still on the subject of imported objects, I came across a punching that is outside the Italian and I believe also French rules.
It is a centerpiece that bears the Christofle trademark.

Next to this is the truncated lozenge mark in use in Italy from 1945 to 1970 approximately.

This mark, 569 MI, corresponds, in the national register of assignees, to the importing company
Argenteria Christofle S.p.a. Via Rossini 4 Milan
di Perego Giuseppe.
Up to this point everything is normal.
Absolutely outside the norm is the fineness mark, where it is written, in Italian
ARGENTO STERLING 940/1000
This is evidently a sort of poetic license
