I have a spoon with beautiful enamel work. The side of the spoon has a hallmark which I have a hard time identifying with letters, G.A.S.
Are this marks for Gustav Adolf Sallstrom? Is this Danish Spoon and How old?

Thank you!

Hi,
It is Austrian by Georg Adam Scheid, see this post ->

Thank you for your reply. I had a feeling Gustav Sallstrom did not make sence because of the dates. What about that other mark, do you know anything about it? It does not look like any of the Austrian marks.

Thanks again,
Alina

It is too small, cannot see it clearly enough to comment.

Hi,
That is the small standard mark for 800 silver used 1886 to 1922, it is a head of a dog, I've always thought of it as a greyhound. Numeral is "3" and the letter should be "A" for Vienna.
