<p>[QUOTE=&quot;L0z, post: 581673, member: 3918&quot;]I have been going through some silverware that’s been in storage for sometime awaiting my attention in a bid to source it’s history. I stumbled across a rather interesting collection on very old knives and forks that are just oozing with detail, yet quite confusing! Please see photos, what we have here is 3 fish knives and forks. On the knives you can see a floral design and the ‘star of david’ with symbol in the centre, what I can only assume is some kind of Hebrew symbol? Also on the knife there is the marks MHA&amp;S / EPNS, so clearly they are plated. However, on the section between the knife and the mother of Pearl handle, there is another mark....a mark that indicates silver? The mark is FC / crown / lion / and what appears to be a letter E or B (but it’s worn and difficult to see) Regardless, what we have here are two different makers, both British as well as the star and Hebrew! Is there such a thing as ‘cross breeding cutlery’&nbsp; as the only explanation I can come up with is that maybe the handles were added/replaced separately. It would be great if I could find out some info on these seperate detailings and also overall (ie, history, age, any value etc) the forks by the way, display the same floral pattern as the knives but no reference to the EPNS but the same silver marks on the top of the handles? Any info would be fantastic - thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]174782[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]174783[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]174784[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]174785[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]174786[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]174787[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
