Davis & Galt Spoon?

[silverguy]

Ok after looking through the makers marks this seemed to be the maker?

What I don't know is what kind of spoon this is and what does the N.F. 830 stand for?

I have seen a fork with a twisted handle but not a spoon or with the globe like part at the top?

It is 3 3/4" long.




Is there a pattern name?

What would it have been used for?

It's a demitasse spoon of 830 fine silver and is European in origin. They were made in scores of such patterns and were basically tourista goods.

Not sure what Davis & Galt is supposed to have to do with it -- is that what you were told?

No I wasn't told that.

I was trying to find the maker's mark on here and the only one I saw close was the outline from Davis & Galt.

Also I think when I did a search on them I saw a small fork with the same twisted handle.

So it got me thinking it was American for some reason.

I should have know that the 830 was a European mark

I just can't seem to make out what the symbol is inside the shield?

I was curious to it's age and where it came from and of course what is was used for?

At first I thought it was a souvenir spoon, but since it didn't have anything written on it I gave up on that idea!
