Re: 835 German Silver "NK" Food pusher
Hi MaltaMike610,
I'm far from an expert on Swedish or German silver but here is what i think.
Goldstein is correct with the date of 1918 but I have to disagree with him on the origin of this one and agree with your initial interpretation of it being German made as it carries the Swedish import stamp. It also carries the sponsors town mark for Stockholm. I lean toward the initials NK being the sponsors mark rather than the German manufacturer as this fits with the Swedish marking standards but I don't know who NK is. As a starting point though, I will throw the name of the famous Stockholm department store of Nordiska Kompaniet as a possible candidate.
Unfortunately I don't see anything to identify the German maker.
Cheers,
Steve
