chowie Posts: 9 Registered: Apr 2005	posted 04-12-2005 05:50 PM [26-0366] This is the second time (I got snipped on the first) I have attempted a picture so I sure hope it works. I have a serving fork with this marking. I have looked into the French silver and it looks like it might be French because of the profiled head. Any help would be appreciated. IP: Logged

chowie Posts: 9 Registered: Apr 2005	posted 04-12-2005 06:00 PM So I am assuming the WB is the maker's mark? does the 3 (I think it is a 3) under the head mean anything. this is so much fun! IP: Logged
