With the help of Google, it appears to be a souvenir from
La Tasse D'Argent hotel, in Belgium!

I could be totally wrong on this - I'm sure someone will correct me if so.

Great looking old knife with the "birds eye rivets" and small bail!!

Silver cup. Is there a mark of a cup along with the name? The mark is listed as originating from Thiers, France but no other information at this time. :D s-k
