Stamped on the matchbox holder “A.G.Dufva N.S O” A G Dufva is one of the oldest European silversmiths.
Alex Gabriel Dufva was born in 1822 and died in 1897, he became a master craftsman and shortly after this, he opened a silver plate factory in Stockholm, which was thought to be one of the first in Sweden. “N.S.” refers to it being a nickel-silver plate.
The letter “O” is the date letter for 1895, which means it was made toward the last few years of his life.
