I have some German silver pieces with the markings---GERB.HEPP 90 On the bottom of these items is a swastika surrounded by a wreath. What do these marks mean? Thank you for your help. IP: Logged |

Gebr. Hepp is an old established manufacturer of silverplated flatware for the commercial and institutional sector. '90' indicates standard quality of plating (quite good quality). If the extra symbol is indeed a swastika then your items obviously date from the 30's or war years. However, I believe that Hepp did at one time (I am unsure when) have a logo consisting of two sickles (sorry, I originally wrote 'scythes' which is less descriptive) or something like that which might on superficial examination be mistaken for swastikas.

I have a teapot that says restaurant (in German) on the front with the same Hallmark, a swastika surrounded by the leaf and have not been able to find any info thus far on identifying the mark. Have you found any further information on this mark? IP: Logged |
