Help with mark identification (silver spoon)

[vjag]

Hi, I would like to ask for help with the identification of these marks. The name is probably "Hugo Steinkopff"

Welcome to the forum. Here's a link to German marks on this that will explain what you are looking at some: http://www.925-1000.com/Fgerman_marks_a1884_8.html I can't tell you a thing for about Hugo Steinkopff, but there are others on this site that probably will be helpful.

Hello, Steinkopff is just the retailer who originally sold this, no idea who he was. Maker is Koch und Bergfeld from Bremen, Looks like one of the patterns designed by Hugo Leven for that company shortly after 1900. The Koch und Bergfeld mark is the incompletely struck sign left of the 800. Compare here

for a complete Koch und Bergfeld mark. Regards, Bahner

Hugo Steinkopff appears to be a Leipzig jeweller.

Trev.

All of this following may be coincidental, however, a Hugo Steinkopff occupation Jeweller is listed on a 1909 New York passenger list; his destination at that time was Tacoma, Washington. He was from Berlin and his father was Heinrich Vahrenhorst. A 1921 issue of The Jewelers' Circular reported that Hugo Steinkopf, formerly floor man for Feagans & Co., who has been staying in Big Bear Valley, has returned to Los Angeles.... Feagan & Co were Los Angeles jewelers.

Yes, Bahner is right. It is pattern No. 25500 from Koch & Bergfeld, Bremen designed by Hugo Leven around 1900.
