Hi,

Just a question, were the 57-ers (Oaks and Oaks & Swords marked '800' and '41' or are they just a modern reproductions?

Hello

as far as I know the only one authorised officially to make Oaks was S&L. At the beginning they marked their Oaks and OwS with a particular mark: an "o". Afterwards only with the silver content 800.
There are also some made in the las years with a 925 content. Somebody means that they are made in the UK, but Who knows?
Nevertheless there were other maker in the 1957 pieces, as i.e Deumer who also marked his Ek1 and Ek2 with the 4 and L/11(in the very early pieces)
