| I inherited a set of forks (see picture of the front and back) from my great aunt. I love them, but took them to an expert in NY for identification and he was stumped. Any ideas? I would love to add to this set. Thanks. |

| Beautiful & unusual but a closeup of the markings on the back is essential for identification. Do you know where your aunt bought them? I now see that the fork on the right IS the back. Is there marking or imprint? |

| I'm wondering if they weren't possibly hand "customised" from a plain pattern. |

| I wish I could see the detail of what looks like a hallmark at the base of the handle. |

| Is that a photocopy or scan? C'mon, find a camera! :) |

| Or at least a description of the marks. |

| Another case of a hit-&-run poster. |
