Hi,
Welcome to the Forum.
It's Spanish, or to be more precise, from Barcelona. Oriel is the maker, LBB was the assayer working at Barcelona, the standard of silver is 916/1000.
Hopefully one of our Spanish members can add some further details.

Hi,
I should have mentioned that datewise it is pre 1934.
Should you find any information outside of the forum, please be sure to share it here.

Hello
The marker is ORIOL. Antoni Oriol Buxó Founded the silverware in the year 1854, in Barcelona. Today, their descendants continue with the business.

Hi Ovo,
Thanks for supplying the information.
What is the meaning of the '3/2' mark on the extreme right?
Regards, Trev.

Hello
I´m sorry, but It is the first time that I see this hallmark on a solid silver spoon.
