Belgian Ladle---Mark Info Required

[dognose]

Hi,

Can anyone help with information on this Belgian ladle? It is 15" (38cm) in length and weighs just over six oz. (200gm).



I understand the two-faced head as the second standard 800/1000 and the large guarantee mark, but it is the third mark, which I presume is the makers mark, that I need assistance with.
Any help with the maker and dating of this ladle would be appreciated.

Trev.

Hi Dendriet,

That's brilliant, and so unexpected. In the years since 2008 I had never found an answer, so this finally solves a long-standing mystery.

Many thanks.
