Hi
I'm new to this forum and would like help in identifying the hallmarks on a silver (or silverplated) letter opener. I recently bought the opener to add to my collection, and the hallmarks are totally unfamiliar. I've done extensive research to no avail. Hopefully, my photo attachment will appear. Thanks so much.

I don't have agood identification, but I believe this to be continental silverplate. Several areas use '90' as a plate mark, much to the consternation of beginning collectors who assume it to be equivalent to .900 ....
