Question
I recently found in my grandma home few forks and knives that look old and seem to be made of silver with a marking 100 kks, any idea what it stands for?

Thanks

Miki

Answer
Hello Michael.

About the only thing I can tell you is that it's not an American mark.  Outside of that, I really know nothing about foreign marks.

Try going over to www.925-1000.com.  They have very good information there on international marks.  If you can't find what you're looking for, they also have a forum for questions about international silver.

Regards,
Michelle
