This is just an ordinary fiddle teaspoon, but the origin is proving elusive. Any ideas?

My 2 Cape Silver fiddle back spoons have similar fake tax marks of right facing monarchs.

::::: There's an Androes Litkie listed as working circa 1860 and additionally there are other Litkie family members listed as silversmiths. :::::
::::: I keep seeing the initials as "AL" but maybe that's not an "L" it could be another letter but only in hand can the best decision be made ::::

Nothing in any of my books. Cape, Canada or Chinese export. I have been through Bermuda, Scotland and Australia plus all manner of other places 00without success.

::::: If anyone has the Cape Silver book, that would be the first resource to exhaust, Androes Litkie is listed as a silversmith and his sons were silversmiths as well, so I was just wondering if the AL mark is attributed to Androes Litkie by the author of the Cape Silver book :::::
