[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 11381449, member: 2844"]Another thought: It could be from Hanau, Germany. Hanau makers made very beautiful historic inspired silverware, but stamped them with pseudo-marks, fake marks based on historic marks, often from other countries. Historic UK and Dutch marks were favourites. Many makers were of Dutch origin, joined by descendants of Huguenots that came via the Dutch route. The Hanau pseudo-marks are a mishmash, so French and German in the same row is in the realm of possibilities, although I have never seen it. And these marks are not among the known Hanau marks, nor in the list of unidentified Hanau marks.[/QUOTE]
