I can't find this mark listed anywhere, it's quite distinctive in shape and you can just make out a fleur-de-lys and a letter that looks like a 'C' but with a double line through the centre. The spoon is made in London in 1741.

Huguenot maker? 1741 spoon
Re: Huguenot maker? 1741 spoon
Hi Matt,
I see no obvious candidate for the maker, perhaps this is one that that was recorded in the missing registers.
Can you try to capture a sharp close up of the maker's mark alone? Try taking the image in daylight, no flash or reflected light, and use the macro feature on your camera.

Here's the best I can do, I need to invest in a macro lens!

Mystery over it's just a mistruck mark of Joseph Clayton. Glad to finally pin down a maker though!
