Huge Mystery Spoon with hallmark, can anyone help?

[mygoldrocks]

Hi,

I bought this silver spoon off of the internet thinking it was going to be small but it turned out to be this huge monster at 9.5 inches long and it is very heavy.
I can't find anything about it and it has a hallmark which is a single capital "N". Can anyone help?














Thanks
Richard

Hi,

Over-sized apostle spoon, not Dutch, perhaps German Hanau?

Hi,

Thanks, I will try and get it moved to the German silver section.

Yes, most probably Hanau,B. Neresheimer & Sohne.

Any idea of its age?

The earliest would be 19th century.
