Flatware with Unidentified Markings

Post by joburn88 »

Hello everyone!

New to the site and forum. This has been an immense help in identifying some Silver that has been handed down to my family after the passing of my great grandmother.

I have searched through the site and have used outside resources like google to try to find any info on these.

Nobody in my family has any more info on them. Hoping you can be of some assistance!

Here is a photo of the flatware, and a closeup of the makers marks.

Hi welcome to the forum. Not silver but nickel silver see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_silver

"BMF I" (the letters "M" and "F" are joined) one of the many marks used by BERNDORF METALWARE FACTORY. For more information see:
