Hallmarks on corner pieces and claps:

- Number 2 surrounded by floral sprays for silver imported in Belgium.
- Hand with Staff for silver of the 2 grade = 800/1000 = 80 % pure silver.

Both marks were used in between the years 1814-1831. (Dutch occupation)

This means that the binding of this missal is much older than the inserted book, probably around the year 1830 or earlier. Due tot a intensive use to old missal was worn out and replaced by a new copy in 1932.
