Hi Folks,

Here's another puzzler for anyone with some spare moments to ponder.

This spoon (which has been well used and bashed about a tad) looks for all the world to me to be French, but can anyone confirm this please?

Thanks in anticipation...

Kenny

800/1000 french silver

maker's mark should be in the bowl, opposite side from Minerva head.

Regards, Tom

Thanks Theoderich.

You have better eyes than me...

Hi Tom,

Makers Mark seems pretty much worn to me. Don't know if anything can be dicephered from this photo ?

Cheers

Kenny

Don't think it is worn, more likely just dirty. give it some gentle circular rubs with a toothbrush to clean out some of the old caked polish and then some polishing with a cotton swap. May come up much clearer.

Tom

Thanks Tom.

Cleaned up so image is a bit more clear.

Kenny

My eyes are not so good ;-)
Can you describe - what you see?
It is AMC or AMG or AC or AG ?
I can not find this Mark in the Encyclopedia.

Hi,

It reads ARD.

I will post another and hopefully more clear photo once my phone charges up so that I can take another image.

Thanks.

Kenny

Hi,

Here is what I hope is a clearer image - definitely ARD mark.
