A 2nd, matching Swiss solid-bowl ladle w/ a different maker

I own this very similar second ladle which belonged to the same family, is also 13 L, and presumably also Swiss, 1852-1880, but the maker is different. This maker is "HEGI" - I would very much appreciate knowing the maker's name and location. These 2 pieces have a very interesting provenance.

That is the maker mark by the widow of the goldsmith D. Hegi in Zurich. She led the workshop from 1825 - 1869. I think that the spoon was made after 1850.
