I am new to silver and acquired a lovely little salt spoon engraved with an M on the handle (not part of the hallmark). I have been searching for ages and cannot for the life of me identify when/where/who made it? I have assumed it is silver from the passant. Please can someone help? I can provide more images if needed. Thank you in advance. Image link below.

Hi,
Welcome to the Forum.
The spoon was assayed at London in 1797. We'll need a large close-up of the maker's mark to have any chance of identifying the maker.
You need to embed your images as very few people will click on links.

Sort of looks like Thomas Streetin to me, but I'm sure others will know better.

By the date letter and confirmed by the variation to the Duty mark.Could you tell me how you know that?
I agree with silverly, Thomas Streetin.
