Can anyone identify these hallmarks, possibly of Danish origin?

Thank you so much!

Hi Lillian,

Welcome to the Forum.

I believe that's Copenhagen 1808, the 'F' mark is for Frederik Fabritus who was the Assay Master. I can't help with the maker, but I'm sure you will not have to wait long to find out.

Wow! Thank you so much. I really appreciate the reference as well. I missed it entirely.

Hello, Lillian
The maker's mark is somewhat hard to make out, but to me it reads NL, and that's the mark of Nicolai Jensen Lyderwahl (b. 1760 d. 1819). Goldsmith to the Royal Court, his widow continued running the business upon his death until 1838.

Hope this helps,
Sincerely Josstrom

Thank you! You have far better eyesight than I do. I', glad you were able to make it out.

Last mark is month mark. By that we can tell in which month the tax was paid - and the piece made.
So clean the 2 marks and post a better picture.

The month mark is badly struck,but I make it out to be the sign of Gemini.The spoons should then have been marked between 22nd of May and 21st of June 1808.

Regards Josstrom

I'll definitely try to clean the hallmarks and try photos again. Thanks for all the help. What an incredible amount of expertise!

Iope these are more legible. Any other ideas? Thanks!

josstrom has better eyes than I have so you already had the answer.
