Hello all,
I am new to this forum and should start by saying that I am not even close to being an expert in silver!
I am hoping that someone might be able to identify further information about a silver spoon that I have.
I am assuming that it is German but some of the identfying marks are quite faded, making it quite difficult to identify the town symbol. The name of the silversmith MULLER P is pretty clear as is the assayer's zizag line but beyond that, I'm not too sure. There is a date on the handle, 1793.
Anyway, I am including a link here to some images and perhaps someone out there knows a bit more about it.

Many thanks, in advance, for any assistance or nuggets of information about this spoon.
Michael
