What does the “Oval mark naming Georg Jensen & Wendel, with STERLING or 925S and DENMARK” mark mean?

From 1945 to 1951 pieces sold through the Georg Jensen shop in Copenhagen carried a mark naming Georg Jensen & Wendel instead of the usual company oval. The silver is sterling, marked STERLING or 925S, usually with DENMARK and a design number. If your piece shows the Wendel name, you can date it to these six postwar years and know it was retailed in Copenhagen. Pieces sold elsewhere in the same years carry the standard Georg Jensen oval used from 1945 onward.
