What does the “Conjoined GJ monogram or G.I., struck with the Danish silver standard 826S (later 830S), sometimes with GEORG JENSEN or COPENHAGEN” mark mean?

Georg Jensen opened his Copenhagen silversmithy in 1904, and his first pieces carry a monogram of a joined G and J or the initials G.I. You will usually see the standard mark 826S next to it, the Danish 82.6 percent silver grade. Between about 1911 and 1914 the workshop moved up to 830S. Some pieces from these years also add GEORG JENSEN or the word COPENHAGEN. If your piece shows 826S with a GJ or G.I. mark, it belongs to the first decade of the firm.
