dandeline Posts: 12 Registered: Oct 2003	posted 11-03-2003 09:05 AM [01-1293] Hi, I have a hollow handle fruit knife that has only the number 20 in a square on the top of the handle their are no other marks. Does anyone know what this means? IP: Logged
Dale Posts: 2132 Registered: Nov 2002	posted 11-03-2003 12:15 PM In my experience this means the handle is silverplate, and most likely European. Probably German, but there are other possibities. Could you post a picture? It is usually the case that a mark alone is inadaquate for an attribution. Pattern, shape, style and so on help narrow down where the mark could have come from. IP: Logged
