✅ SOLVED Silver marker/marks

I can't find this maker, or make out what the actual name is.
The country mark also

What type of item is it? It keeps bringing up binoculars with that spelling. Can't tell if it's binosonboler or binosoneoler

Cutlery
I ended up with same results.
The internet is getting worse.
What spelling did you get?

 

[Nathan W]

I got nothing for both spellings. It's got to be foreign

I read BINDSCHEDLER, a Swiss last name and possibly company name.

There is a site offering modern cutlery drawer organisers made by C. Bindschedler of Lausanne, Switzerland but I couldn’t find any actual flatware. I don't know if that's the maker or not but, if so, they would also have to have a branch in Germany because the silver marks are German, not Swiss.

The first icon is the ‘Sun and Crown’ mark [edit: that should have read 'Crescent and Crown'] as used for silver of all standards in Germany since 1886, accompanied by a numerical fineness mark. It’s still used tod y for things like cutlery and other tableware, but not for jewellery. I have no record for a 'Bindschedler' in Germany.

The .800 mark is a registered silver mark?

 

[Nathan W]

I read BINDSCHEDLER, a Swiss last name and possibly company name.

That spelling would make more sense

The .800 mark is a registered silver mark?

In Germany, yes. Although .800 fine silver is not commonly used, it's still an available standard with that hallmark.

Correction to what I said above: the first mark is 'Crescent and Crown' for silver, not 'Sun and Crown', which is for gold.

Also you will have to deduct for the steel and the filling on knives.

Start of the thread but I have better ones that I can provide.
Plus some family history.

I only allowed 15 gram average.
Big newer handles average 22 grams
Med average 13 grams
So I took a 15 gram average.

Oh I think these don't come around too often.
It was labeled as flatware with the 2 photos at the beginning of the thread.

So I met the Nephew of the Widow.
The set belonged to her parents.
He figures the set is from 1940-50.
They were Swiss.
