Hi,
ATLA is the silverplate division of Danish silver maker C.M.Cohr. The two-tower mark has been used on plated wares since the late 19th century.
The D-hammer-A mark stands for Dansk Arbejde (Danish work), a Danish trade association.
ENERET in Danish means EXCLUSIVE (right).

Hi

Thank you for your help, so does having the 925 mark mean it is plated with silver or does this stamp mean it is silver and not plate, i confused

Thanks Mandy

Btw. ``925`` is confusing,though.Most likely stamped to deceive (not by the maker).
Those ``925`` punches are easily found.

Thank you for clearing it up for me so its silver plate though someone at a later date have stamped it with the 925 mark to make people think it is silver and not plate. I suppose there are a lot of dishonest people out there, thank you again

Best wishes

At least I have never seen sterling with ``ATLA`` and besides, there are other marks here indicating silver-plate.
Nevertheless, I suggest to have it tested (there are non-invasive electronic testers)
Regards.

Thank you,

i appreciate all your help and will have it tested, looking closer the 925 stamp does appear to be different, a more modern stamp

Kind regards

No need to test it. It is under no circumstances silver but silver plated. In my opinion the 925 punch is most likely a product number and by chance "925". It has nothing to do with sterling silver. There is a clear Danish two tower silver plate mark visible.

Just for the records: The 925 is not either an indication of the fineness of the electrolytically applied silver plate surface. It is always 100%.
