Hello JayT, Thank you for the clarification about the French hallmarks. I'll try to find out more about the Belgian hallmarks.

After researching weekend finds, I saw him pass.
Place it for completeness.
Perhaps also for other searchers

That's why I'm confused, because I see French hallmarks from around 1800 and Belgian hallmarks after 1942.
Can we speek here for a forgery or is the tester punched again as proof of being silver although it's punched 800 while is has the French punch for 950?
On the other hand, because I found it in ...

Re: Help with strange hallmark

Hi Oel,

I'm still figuring out how to work with the forum and how to reply, that's why I reposting many time the same message.

No there are no other hallmarks on the spoons, only what you see on the photos, namely the Import and duty mark and the zig zag mark.

Once again many thenks or your help.
