German or Belgian fork (180ç-19) ?

[anikopol]

Hi all,

Here is a fork that carry Frenck mark (1809-19), but which may be a German (during Napoleonic occupation) or even a Belgian fork.
The design of the fork itself is not common for a French item (see image).
May someone confirm/precise the location, and identify the silversmith ?




marks identified :
a cock turned to left with a "2" : silver 800/1000, province, 1809-19
a man head with a cask, with the number « 86 » ? : garantee for Roer (main town : Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle)), 1809-19 (Poinçons d'argent, 20e édition [Tardy, 1995], p. 422) ; unfortunatly the number is quite hard to read so I am not sure of it
L, a cross , G in a lozenge : unidentified silversmith

Many thanks !

Dear Anikopol,

I've been describing the books of Struyck and Dievoet
The images are indeed embarrassed, but they have something to learn about.
These are Belgian Hallmarks from 1809 - 1814

See accompanying pictures



It is divided into various departments.
As you can see (pic2), it is very vague to see the number 56.
Further research will be done at Bruges / Ypres and Kortrijk

In accordance with the resolution of 12 December 1811. The Ieper assay office was transferred to Kortrijk, where twice as much gold and silver smiths were settled as in Ieper.
At the Ypres, nothing about Makers Mark in this period is mentioned in the book.

Suppose there is the problem here.
That is why I put it in advance so that more eyes offer more opportunities.
