Bought myself in Copenhaguen.

CONDITION: Good condition (usual light scratches), beautiful shine. With traces of age and wear from some on the back not visible on use. The set is in overall good, as-pictured used estate condition with very fine and light edge wear, some tiny loss of silver, light surface scratches throughout, and other signs of expected light wear consistent with age for a Century old set.

" SILVERPLATE
When Cohr started 1921 his plated product range in flatware and hollowware - didn't exist a nationwide symbol for this. Some time later were used the letter P (in a circle, signification = Plet = Plated) and introduced the "Two towers" mark, to be used by all Danish producers of plated products. That's failed until 1929, because there wasn't any guarantee of similar quality standard.
DS - Danish Standards Association Founded in 1926. Denmark's national standardisation body. DS marking is the visible evidence that a product meets the requirements laid down, for instance, in a standard covering the particular product group. Cohr used DS marking from 1931 on.
Torch mark FDG: In 1929 the "Common Representation of Danish Goldsmiths" (FDG = Fællesrepræsentationen for Danmarks Guldsmede) registered the "Torch mark" as a trademark and wanted it to be used as a quality mark for silver plated sold by the members only.
Torch mark: Quality mark for silver plated. Used by the "Organisation of Silver plate Manufactures" ("Foreningen af Sølvpletfabrikanter") after they took over the rights to the torch mark from FDG about 1932.
A wide array of marks was used on Cohr's silverplate. Three Stars is a symbol used in signification of "Plated" quality - from 1926 on traded as ATLA (signification: strong surface and resist use attacks) Cohr's trademark."
