[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 1069364, member: 111"]Just can't make out the maker's mark, which can be helpful in dating - odd that they placed the marks on that side, probably the required location on the detailed list of where French hallmarks must be placed on specific pieces (so picky)... Might try placing the knife with the other side up in the case so the handles match - or better, try the forks and spoon with their other sides up, would keep the forks from piercing the lid lining and show off the fancy engraving on the spoon's bowl (the die-stamped side of the handle would be the actual flatware pattern)... ~Cheryl[/QUOTE]
