It seems to be .800 (i’m assuming silver) with a Crescent moon symbol, then one other that continues to evade me.. It kind of looks like a 4 leaf clover.
Anyone know what it is?
As always, thank you so much!
PS I’m also including the design on the front of the forks in case that helps. The set of knives is exactly the same (12 piece sets). The backs are smooth, without design.

Germany was my first thought as well !! 800 was the silver standard for Germany as well as other countries in that area !! At least that gives me a smaller area to search !!
Thanks for the explanation !!
See if your marks match these on the first line !!
I think they came from Germany. I had an estate sale business in La Jolla CA and one of my clients just had so much stuff, i made him an offer on some boxes and 3 bronze statues, we negotiated a bit and i just came across a box long forgotten w these and the matching knives, a Women’s vanity set, and a nice collection of various decanters that i’m thinking of holding on to. There was also some Bohemian items as well; smaller decanters and smaller cups that i gave to my mom because she was fascinated with the colors and intricacy of the paints.
Thanks for the reply and I hope that helps a little…
