I don't know what these forks were used for. Any ideas ?
The mark looks like that of Chritoph Widmann of Germany to me. Can someone confirm this ?
Others have suggested that these forks are Dutch.

Cheese pick, made by Christoph Widmann, pattern 1900
Hello
Johanna Gehrlein, in her famous researched book of »Rosen-Bestecke« (Rose pattern cutlery), has researched in at least 100 Archives of Cutlery Production Company and that of some wholesalers to.
Her report in her description, of this kind of server’s, is always to be a »cheese pick«. This information she took out of company’s printed information’s (advertising, press release, catalogue, tariffs, etc.) — including Christoph Widmann, Pforzheim, and pattern range: Model 1900 — popularly so called »Hildesheimer Rose« (»Rose of Hildesheim«).
Christoph Widmann pattern range model 1900 is especially described in her recently published book — because in past decennia »Rose of Hildesheim« is by time and while synonym for this kind of antique cutlery.
Its worth to buy and study these more then 1,000 illustrations — including all actually found maker’s mark of these company. Especially there are also presented and described bad worn marks — medicine contra collector’s headache!
Next to contributions of »buckler« I’ve learned again by this publication: »Be keen on every detail of punch or pattern«
Thank you Johanna Gehrlein, thank you »buckler« for yours contributed collector’s lessons.
If you don’t know German, it doesn’t matter so much — from prehistory on we were be able to interpret picture.
Look (also if you like to order): http://www.rosen-bestecke.de" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Entire collector’s and collector’s novice I wish a prosperous 2010 as collector!
Kind regards silverport

Christoph Widmann: cast Maker's Mark
Hello
Additional information to Maker's Mark:
I've learned from the book that a big amount of this sand cast objects bear already the marks.
On the mother model are already al necessary "punches" before they were used to prepare the mould.
The cheese pick with Dutch pattern is also a Christoph Widmann product.
Kind regards silverport
