Hi
Howard,
The triple crown mark has been used as the Swedish
Government mark since 1783 - after 1912 the triple
crown was enclosed in a clover leaf shape for
Swedish made items and in an oval shape for an
Import item. If the crowns are not enclosed the
item was produced before 1912. Swedish silver
is typically .830 pure, or a lower purity of silver
than Sterling which is .925 pure.
