Good evening
I found this teaspoon a few months ago. It is by Hamilton & Co, Calcutta. It has a military shield of some sorts. Would it be WW2 related?

Hi Jannie,

Although several British and Commonwealth regiments used these Crown and Hunting Horn devices, the Durham Light Infantry, having served in India and South Africa, are the most likely to fit the bill.

Thank you for the quick reply. I love collecting silver with some extra connections. Been lucky lately finding 3 objects from Calcutta. The spoon was the cleanest of the 3. It seems like Hamilton uses a better alloy than Dass and Dutt

Badge of the Durham Light Infantry with King's crown version (1902–53).
Before 1902 and after 1953 the badge had Queen`s crown.

Looks like early 1930s Hamilton, so just before WW2.
