My mom did by my dad and I laughed, blood never bothered me. I felt sorry for her but it all appeared so comical when you're trained by those violent cartoons
at least that's what the relatives said.

I bent a smaller spoon till it broke, no flaking, and very silver looking metal on the inside where it isn’t tarnished. Every piece has 3 small marks on the other side, but they don’t actually look like anything really. I can take a picture of them.
The story that came with them is that the are Austrian-Hungarian and date between 1886 and 1922 and supposedly .800 silver purity, but I have no idea if any of that is true. My grandfather did come from Hungary before WW2, that much is true.

That is what I was assuming, I was gonna scrap it, I have like 10 pounds of it
I’m just hoping they actually are silver, lol

Silver Fineness Marks: numbers, symbols, alphabet letters
The marks used to certify the level of silver purity degree are the corresponding number, a number and one or more letters, a symbol or a mix of symbol/number/letter. This page is a wordwide overview of silver fineness marks presented in 'The What is? Silver Dictionary' of www.silvercollection.it

The hallmark on the left looks like sheffield rose. Is the middle one a crown?

The middle one looks almost like a tiny mountain range. Please, internet sleuth away! Haha

Could it be a castle?

Not sure, it’s really indistinct. I took my 60x jewelers loupe to it, and it still doesn’t have much definition. But all the pieces are stamped

Could the rose be the image on the right with some wear?

@Laughing Grass you’re amazing. You made me think to type in “Austrian rose silver hallmark” and I fucking found it! The rose is this! I just confirmed with my jewelers loupe. The head is of Diana, is has a little 3 that denotes it’s .800 silver, and a ‘p’ on the right side that stand for “pest” from Budapest. You fucking beautiful genius you!
