Krusiu Solingen Teaspoon Marked 90

Spoon is marked 90 which I think means 90 grams of silver? Also marked C62. The end of the spoon has D S G. Are these someones initials or something else?

 

Hi @kraftblue

I believe the 90 stamp indicates silver plate.

 

The 90 does indeed stand for 90 grams of silver, used in the plating of a "lot" of these "tea diffuser" spoons. I don't think the initials look like a personal monogram - more like initials of a restaurant or hotel.

 

Thanks Scout and Bakers

90 means 90 grams (metric) on a surface of 24 square-decimeters.
as a rule of thumb this equals 12 spoons and 12 forks.

 

as Krusius also made daggers -a.o. SA - and sabres C62 might be a chromium steel used as core material.
