Possibly fair to call the marks across the top of the tines pseudo marks rather than fakes because they do not actually replicate any known set of early marks. There is a French import mark on the hinge. However, the fork was being offered for sale some years ago as 18th century French (!) by a part time and inexpert dealer and I am sure such mistakes still happen. I have found it difficult to persuade somebody that the marks on their item were Hanau c. 1900 rather than 17th century Augsburg. None of us likes our swan to prove to be a goose. IP: Logged
