Birks and Knoll & Pregizer Marks
Birks in Script (Retailer)
Sterling Silver
KP Makers Mark

This was the first time I ever saw Birks in script. I was fortunate while researching to find the Birks-Dingwall mark in an ad that confirmed the script signature, however, realize German jewelry stopped being exported to the US and Canada in 1939 due to the war, and resumed after WWII.

Until I can find out anything more accurate, I am going to "assume" these Birks in script pieces were for the Birks-Dingwall stores. My research is still continuing. I dont't think at this point in time the signature can be used for dating with any kind of accuracy.

Birks is considered the "Tiffany of Canada" and a very high end retailer.

They imported a lot of sterling paste and marcasite jewelry from Germany for their stores.
