The mark “800” on silver items indicates that it is 80% silver and 20% other metals. It was commonly used throughout Central Europe from the 19th Century up until World War II. 

The small swan stamp on silver indicates that it was imported into France. It was introduced on June 1st, 1864 specifically for items from countries without Customs Conventions. On June 1st, 1893 the stamp carried additional markings consisting of one or two horizontal slashes, indicating less or more than 50% secondhand or used silver making up the object, respectively. The swan mark disappeared completely in 1970 with new laws regarding international trade marks.
