Possibly Reed & Barton Pointed Antique ??

Hello again. I have what I think is a Reed & Barton fork in the Pointed Antique pattern. I cannot find a picture of the back of that pattern anywhere - my fork has a "rib" down the center of the back with a thickened area on the very end. The front is totally plain (except for the mono.) I would appreciate confirmation of this pattern - or if it is not Pointed Antique, what else could it be? Thanks so much.

Reed & Barton for sure. But maybe not Pointed Antique. Similar R&B patterns are English Antique and Four Georges. PA has a definite point and is a bit broader than Four Georges. But I really don't know for sure how you can tell the differnce without comparing to a known example.
