Hello, two hands with a silversmith`s hammer: joint workshop of Johann Babirad (actie since 1901) and Josef Zemen (active since 1903). Not sure when the two joined forces. Active as Babirad and Zemen at least until 1932. They also retailed many patterns made by one of the major silver flatware makers of the Austro-Hungarian empire, so there is always the possibility that a pattern with their mark was actually made by someone else. Regards Bahner
