Re: Oak leaves marked 900 21 opinions please
I moved this one to the EK forum as it relates to the RK. I've not had a chance to study this set yet but maybe one of the others can venture an opinion?

Re: Oak leaves marked 900 21 opinions please
The makers mark is not in the usual Godet style. There is a significant difference in font between an original mark and this one.

Re: Oak leaves marked 900 21 opinions please
I think the 900 marking is okay from what I have seen on some different previous postings and the 21 is a bit off. Could it be that different jewelers/finishers had different stampings that the next guy? And since it was hand stamped the number die was struck at a slight angle.
Just trying to learn here. Isn’t there going to be slight differences between pieces due impart to the hand finished oak leave? If I recall the weight and size is within the standard oakleaves size.

Re: Eichenlaub marked 900 21 opinions please
Markings aside, I don't care for the finish on this piece at all. The frosting looks quite different both color-wise and texturally from cased leaves that I've seen and the over all quality of the crispness and sharp clarity of the edges and veining of the leaves is just not there.

Re: Eichenlaub marked 900 21 opinions please
I'm with Wagriff on this one.
I'm not comfortable with the finish.
beyond this, I do not like the shape of it. look at the piece from behind and superimpose the shape of the silhouette over an original. there is something off with the first "indentations" to the immediate left and right of the loop at top. they are shallow.
perhaps i haven't seen enough of these and this is a known variant, but the shape is not what i have seen and, in fact, does not match the example posted by Adrian either.
