18th century spoon - help with identification

Post by Mikeyt61 »

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.

Hi Michael,

Welcome to the Forum.

Please embed your images as very few members will click on such links.

https://postimages.org (choose 'Share', then copy the 'Hotlink for forums' code) is recommended. Do not use Photobucket or Dropbox.

There is also a pruzzian taxmark [FW] from 1809-1812 for older objects
