All pieces are multiple and completely hallmarked, unequivocally documenting their historical origin.

1. Manufacturer: Wiener Silber Manufactur (historical factory mark: stylized goblet/Römer glass on all pieces).

2. Official Vienna “Tukan-Punze” (with the letter “W” for Vienna and the number “4”): guarantees state inspection and authenticity of 800 silver as well as the period of origin between 1922 and 1939.

3. Fineness hallmark “800”: appears on both the forks and the blade stems.

4. Viennese master hallmark: engraved stylized goblet/ hourglass symbol of the silversmiths who crafted it.

The cutlery is in very good, well-kept condition with minor age-related surface scratches (patina) that underscore its authentic character. No deep scratches, dents, or damage. The blades are firmly seated in the blades.

The set is delivered in the pictured, precisely fitted original case with bright red inlay.
