Vandenbussche, C., Van Ormelingen, J.-J., Van Damme, J., Biografisch lexicon van de Gentse edelsmeden uit de 17de en 18de eeuw, Gent, 2012: Some caution is advised with the Ghent silver items marked by Pieter Colle I (1676-1748) in the deanery period 'M' (1722-1726). These marks were often used in more recent times, but were also added to unmarked authentic pieces.
