Allen1853 Posts: 6 Registered: Jan 2014	posted 09-27-2018 01:12 PM Hi. Thank you for letting me post. I have six very nice silver knife rests marked reverse 40 (H)(A)(E). The 40 is in a font I associate with Eastern Europe or Russia. They are hand engraved at each end "M" and "S". I have seen 40 used as a mark in Germany for 40 grams of silver per 12 pieces. I have spent many hours trying to pin these down without success. Thank you for any assistance you can provide. [This message has been edited by Allen1853 (edited 09-27-2018).] IP: Logged

I successfully research most of my items. These knife rests have me stumped. Looking forward to the answer. Thanks! IP: Logged

I have spent hours at all the silver sites and on Face Book pages trying to figure them out. I have visited this forum many times and saw people here who were very knowledgeable and helpful. To the extent this is "business research" I have spent many hours just to satisfy my personal curiosity. Here are more photo; the intricate hand engraved S and M initials on each end and some flaking on one near the mark evidencing the fact they are plated.

Yes, I am positive they are plate, perhaps more like Sheffield than electro but do not know. IP: Logged
agleopar Posts: 850 Registered: Jun 2004	posted 09-29-2018 03:13 PM Allen, hi. I am guessing here but I think you hit on it, the 40 is about the plating, since there is no 800 or Loth mark. The chance of finding anything out about plated ware is slim. IP: Logged

But they are incredibly well made and attractive. I have spent enough time running down rabbit holes to know the chance of finding info on these is slim. That is why I finally decided to enlist the experts here. If no one here knows I feel better about my own research abilities. Thank you for allowing me to post. IP: Logged
agleopar Posts: 850 Registered: Jun 2004	posted 09-29-2018 09:20 PM They are attractive but the problem with plate is that there is so much and at the same time less documentation because few have made the effort like they have with sterling to record the companies. That means that few here have any info, especially if it’s continental. There are 2 regulars who may be able to help if they see the post both are familiar with that part of the world but I’m not sure they can help either. IP: Logged
