This Pattern was designed by Gustav Elsaß 1925 and soon became a Modern Classic Cutlery in Continental Europe. With its well-balanced design it is still produced today. This is a straight, one-owner Set which has been carefully preserved and is complete - without later additions. All parts of this Design Silverware were hand-made in Germany with a strict quality control and high manufacturing standards. While elsewhere in the first third of the 20th Century machine-made Silverware after older designs were flooding the markets this Silversmith continued to produce in the old-fashion way and with unique designs.
