Norwegian maker Bjornbak - any info

I've got as far as figuring out the flatware is Norwegian, from N.M. mark (at least I think it is). Can't seem to find any info on the maker, i.e. company or silversmith? Or date - heavy pieces seem to be good quality. Thanks for any help http://members.shaw.ca/pmccc/silver/bjornmark.JPG http://memb...

GA - George Adams or George Angell?

Their marks look identical in the book I have handy (Miller's). Is there a way to distinguish? Does the little triangle next to maker's mark mean anything (hopefully not that they're "seconds")? Thanks for any help. (London, 1855) http://members.shaw.ca/pmccc/silver/myGeoAdamsmark.jpg .

Help with date - Birmingham sterling salt spoon

Hi, I have a pair of tiny ( 2 3/8" long) salt spoons I'm trying to authenticate and date. They're stamped sterling and have hallmarks - is that legit, to have both? No maker's mark, but I understand for small things that is not unusual. Tiny marks, I can make out the anchor and the lion passant...
