Het boek der Psalmen; Nieuwe Testament; Catechismus...

Printed in Haarlem by Johannes Enschede 1861. Antique Bible with a silver clasp (often a pocket Bible or church Bible) from the 18th/19th century, executed in a brown leather cover with blind embossing. Weight 569 grams. • The Lion with a '2' (Lopend leeuwtje): This is the official Dutch fineness mark for second-grade silver (833/1000 pure silver). • The Minerva's head (Minervakop): This is the assay office where the silver is tested. In the helmet of the Minerva head a letter indicates the specific city. • The Year letter (Right in the shield): This is a Gothic or numeral letter 'g', which stands for the production year 1891. • The Master mark (Left): This is the stamp of the silversmith who hand-engraved and made the clasp. The stamp is unfortunately a bit vague (possibly a narrow combination of letters in an oval), which at the time was common among silversmiths from active silver towns such as Schoonhoven. Shipped by registered mail and well packed.
