Does anyone know anything about this mark? It is on a rather crude spoon that is 2.0 inches long. The central part looks somewhat like a front view of a bird with some hieroglyphic-like marks.

Hello and welcome.

That is a Mexican Eagle mark. These were used from roughly 1948 to 1980.
Your newer style Eagle mark was used from about 1955 up to around 1980.

Looks like the number 104 which would be the manufacturer.
There was a "LV" that used the 104 Eagle mark, but I don't know who that was. (There could have been more than one firm that used that number.)
Information on Mexican silversmiths is hard to come by.

Pat.
