Swedish Year Mark System
In addition to the usual Georg Jensen Markings, sometimes a number/letter code can appear on various pieces. This is often a matter of the Swedish system for denoting what year the piece was created. The system predates the Georg Jensen silversmithy, hence the earlier dates shown.
A table has been created below to clarify the information in the picture above.
